“And in their corner all they had was Murderbot, who just wanted everyone to shut up and leave it alone so it could watch the entertainment feed all day.”
“I liked the imaginary people on the entertainment feed way more than I liked real ones, but you can’t have one without the other.”
“You may have noticed that when I do manage to care, I’m a pessimist.”
“”I remember every word ever said to me." That was a lie. Who would want that? Most of it I delete from permanent memory.”
“I don’t know why, because it’s one of those things I’m not contractually obligated to care about.”
As you can tell, Murderbot is an iconic introvert. I honestly think I relate to Murderbot more than I relate to most humans.
Full of sarcasm and dry humour, their worst nightmare is being perceived or bothered by humans and their feelings. They also cannot standby and watch stupidity.
The first 4 novellas in the Murderbot Diaries series are in the Audible Plus catalogue, so you best believe I’m about to binge this series like the good little sentient bot I am.
