It’s very interesting to see that relationship dynamic and how different it is from Murderbot’s experiences with humans. This theme was especially emphasized in Rogue Protocol when we are introduced to the character Miki – a robot who is like a pet to its owners. I think that Martha Wells does an excellent job of not shoving that theme down your throat, not overstating it. It’s a really interesting moral discussion to be had about Murderbot and what he did to himself by hacking his governor module. So far, in all of these books, there’s some interesting discussions about independence, freedom, and the consent of these robots and augmented humans in the choices that they do or don’t make. The series gets better as it goes on because we really are seeing his growth and progression as we watch him get to where he needs to go and discover the truth about himself and who he is. Despite this always getting him further entrenched in their problems, he doesn’t lose sight of what he’s there for. Whenever he’s in a situation where people need help or need protection, he wants to step in and assist them. Since he worked for a SecUnit for so long, it’s still in him it’s a part of who he is. He tries to find a way to disguise his intentions and get where he needs to go without raising suspicion, but instead, he winds up entangling himself with the problems of these pesky humans. Murderbot is on a mission to find out what really happened to him all those years ago, and to solve more of the mystery about what happened in the first book, All Systems Red. It will just never cease to amaze me that I can connect more with this robot than I can with humans in a majority of books. I swear, he has better character growth than most humans in books. What about the characters? Of course, Murderbot is at his absolute sassiest self in this. Then I thought that maybe Rogue Protocol wouldn’t be as good as the other two–I was wrong. Normally it’s the second part of a series - whether it’s a book, movie, or TV show - that sometimes falls flat and just doesn’t meet the mark, but that wasn’t the case with Artificial Condition. It’s one of those things that immediately makes me love a book. It’s rare that I laugh out loud at a book and I did in the first two I did in this third one, too. The downside is I don’t get to highlight the sassy quotes to share with you. As I’ve said, I love the narrator of this series and think he does an amazing job of embodying Murderbot. As soon as I could, I grabbed the audiobook.
Why did I pick this book up? Of course I had to pick up this book after loving the first two in the series. Mensah’s SecUnit is.Īnd Murderbot would rather those questions went away.
