All Systems Red by Martha Wells

"SecUnit, do you have a name?” 
I wasn’t sure what she wanted. “No.” 
“It calls itself ‘Murderbot,’” Gurathin said. 
I opened my eyes and looked at him; I couldn’t stop myself. From their expressions I knew everything I felt was showing on my face, and I hate that. I grated out, “That was private."

I loved??? this??? The Murderbot absolutely reminds me of how many of us disaffected millennials feel: genderless, sexless, just wants to be left alone to watch their shows and read their books.

Reread: Honestly, I feel like I relate to Murderbot even more now that I know more and understand myself better. I hope that Alexander Skarsgard lives up to it.
