Rereading “All Systems Red” for my book club recently left me with an ART-shaped hole that needed filling. So, I reread “Artificial Condition” and enjoyed it anew 😊

I wouldn't normally read a 351 page book in less than 24 hours, but... Murderbot! What you gonna do? 📖🤷🏻‍♂️
I loved this longer installment. Being introduced to new characters, the return of established found-family, gender and relationship #diversity, a #neurodivergent coded MC, and a future socialist utopia 🚩holding its own against a brutal capitalist dystopia 🍊 was just what I needed to binge 😊

Bookwomble That's also more wine than I'd usually drink at one time, but I misjudged the “bit left“ at the bottom of the bottle! But, wine... What you gonna do? 🍷🤷🏻‍♂️ (edited) 6d
Jjaxn95 This looks like the loveliest time !! 6d
Bookwomble @Jjaxn95 I'm also listening to classical Spanish guitar by Segovia, so I'm pretty chill 😌 6d

I re-read the previous four Murderbot Diaries earlier this year to refresh my memory so I could read Network Effect, which was a Christmas gift, but then I didn't read Network Effect! Rather than re-re-read the earlier books, I read the synopses on Wikipedia ("Previously on Murderbot Diaries"), and then read nearly half the book overnight! It's good to be back in SecUnit's company ??

Bookwomble My copy is signed, but barely! I mean, Martha put minimal effort into that autograph! Not sure if the finger smudge is her's (which would be cool), or that of the Corporate Entity employee contracted to stick labels in books (which, actually, should be just as cool). 6d
willaful Ok, that is a little sad, lol. 6d
julesG She was going through cancer treatment during that time, so maybe that was the most effort she could put into the signature? 6d

I needed to reread “All Systems Red” for my book club. Last time I read it was 2020 lock down days and I devoured all the MurderBot I could while chilling on my patio 😊

CoffeeK8 Did you watch the show yet? It was so fun 6d
Pedrocamacho I did, @CoffeeK8! I really loved it. The thing I love most about MurderBot is the humorous commentary on humans and the show displays that feature in spades 😊 6d
CoffeeK8 @Pedrocamacho me too! I also loved how he used the things he learned from the TV shows for his emotional interactions 6d
Pedrocamacho Yeah, @CoffeeK8, the whole Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon thing is really expressed well in the show 😊 even lots of cameos 😊 6d

My son bought Murderbot prints from Tommy Arnold https://www.tommyarnoldart.com/ and I just totally unprofessionally framed them.

AnnCrystal 🆒👏🏼☺️💝. 1w

I watched the show as it had been advertised while we were watching Long Way Home, and I hadn‘t realised it was based on a book.
I found the first book on audible plus (only available until the 5th August, so go now!). While very similar, the show added some extra scenes for dramatic effect.

I enjoyed the sci-fi elements, found the MC (Murderbot) relatable and likeable!, and the audio was great. Will definitely look for more in this series!

I love the Murderbot books, and this one was no exception. I‘m invested in what he will do next. This time, I listened to the single narrator version not the dramatization. Both are good. Continued with The Moon Sister. #audiowalk

Today's library haul! I guess I'm in the mood for short stories and empathetic AI bots. 😂

Today has been a so good. I saw my friend at her farmer's market stand and got some lovely produce. My district's surplus building just happened to have the exact classroom furniture I wanted. The parking meter outside the library had an hour left when I pulled up. The 2nd & 3rd Murderbot books were ready for me even though I checked this morning and had a week left on the hold. The crazy part is, I almost didn't want to leave the house today. ☀️

Texreader Oh I love this so much!! Karma is blessing you today!! 1mo
