Another fantastic installment of the Murderbot Diaries. Murderbot goes on an investigative mission to try and understand the traumatic mining accident in its past: the time they murdered 57 humans and then had their memory wiped. Murderbot needs to know- did it do this voluntarily, or involuntarily? Along the way it meets an over-intelligent research vessel and a small crew of humans who have need of a security expert. Murderbot takes the job, but before you know it, other humans are trying to kill it's humans. What the hell is wrong with humans??

The audiobook is voiced by a male reader. I spent some time thinking about how I might experienced this story differently if it had been read by a non-male person- or by a computer generated voice. Murderbot is asexual and has no gender; I'm trying not to let the male-sounding voice influence how I view the character too much.
