In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.
But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn't a primary concern.
On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied 'droid—a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as "Murderbot." Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.
But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.

非常非常非常可爱的一本短篇科幻小说。主角是有自我意识的安保机器人"secunit",因为之前的意外自称murderbot,实际上喜欢刷剧也喜欢对自己好的人类。剧情紧凑,起伏得当,结局的走向我很喜欢。重新获得自由身份的机器人,为了寻求真正的自由踏上新旅程。叙述者声音一开始听觉得很平,后面越听越觉得很贴角色。本书是系列第一本,后面应该聚焦主角如何探索自我。听完全程觉得这个社恐机器人可爱死了😋 重新听了... 非常非常非常可爱的一本短篇科幻小说。主角是有自我意识的安保机器人"secunit",因为之前的意外自称murderbot,实际上喜欢刷剧也喜欢对自己好的人类。剧情紧凑,起伏得当,结局的走向我很喜欢。重新获得自由身份的机器人,为了寻求真正的自由踏上新旅程。叙述者声音一开始听觉得很平,后面越听越觉得很贴角色。本书是系列第一本,后面应该聚焦主角如何探索自我。听完全程觉得这个社恐机器人可爱死了😋 重新听了一遍,好多可爱的小细节,好好吃😋 2025.1.23 又听了一遍,murderbot系列已经完全是我的舒适区了,每次听完都觉得心暖暖的 (展开)

很可爱www,偷偷看剧的社畜保安机器人,还挺喜欢对公司的吐槽,世界观很喜欢,我发现我就喜欢corporate dystopia,但是我觉得如果书聚焦在公司上+无可逃离的感觉会更好,而不是主角团来自一个更好的民主地方,可以去一个好地方(?) 我感觉世界观设定很好,但就不是很literary,就没有撑起来(lit fic爱好者是这样的吗.jpg
