Well, this is just splendid news. The Murderbot books are fab. And not what you think they'd be about from the Murderbot description ☺️

Apple TV+ lands adaption of Martha Wells’ “Murderbot,” with Emmy Award winner Alexander Skarsgård set to star in and executive produce.

@bookstodon Just finished the fifth book so going to pivot to science nonfiction for a bit. by . It’s about parasitic mind-control in nature. Should be horrific.

It’s Murderbot Day at last. System Collapse, The Murderbot Diaries #7 is out!

In preparation i’ve been re-reading the series. I'm in the middle of #5. Gotta stay away from spoilers. And should have timed this re-read a bit better.

Finished Nicola Griffith's brilliant (sequel to my favourite book ever) just in time for new . Looking forward to the mental whiplash going from the middle ages to corporate dystopia far future. Yay!

@diazona @bookstodon @markw I’ve only read a few so far and I adore them. I’m trying not to gobble the whole series down at once. So far succeeding but one day I’ll break.

My latest book review is up: System Collapse by Martha Wells. SecUnit is back and the story finally continues where book 5 left things. Another great MurderBot story.

I really enjoyed the book. An android with human-like features is nothing new in sci-fi, but I really liked this version. The main character android is very likeable.

Novel is a quick read and plot is quite simple.
Surrounding world is not very widely depicted : there could have been more in-depth information on what kind of future world the story takes place in. On the other hand, when things are briefly explained, the story remains light and nice. I've been a bit tired of overly complicated plot patterns, which in the end stumble over their own feet when the threads are no longer in control.

All Systems Red by Martha Wells

Very interesting novella. Wells puts us in the mind of a security robot that's slipped its leash. The book takes us through its struggles, and the struggles of those around it, to wrestle with its humanity. I really enjoyed this, and am looking forward to the rest of the series.

I'm at the re-reading the #murderbot series stage of the year. Very excited for the next book! @bookstodon

Finishing up listening to Network Effect - 5 - for the second time, after having read it multiple times over the years as well. It's a high-anxiety listen, gotta tell you, even though I know (VERY well) what happens and how. @bookstodon
