A wonderfully adventurous, funny book from the perspective of a security robot that just wants to watch its TV shows and be left alone (relatable). I laughed out loud numerous times as it begrudgingly needed to help and save the humans it's contractually obligated to protect, and how it eventually grew to like some of the humans- and even have a favorite!
Definitely looking forward to more Murderbot diaries!
