Key Takeaways

Kyle, in 2025 in Books: Last year, I read the first book in The Murderbot Diaries. Clearly, I liked it, because I then read the other six books in the series. Each one is a pretty direct continuation from the prior book. What is consistent is Murderbot’s internal reflection on balancing safety, his overwhelming capability, and his struggle with his confusing emotions as a non-human bot.
