Sci-fi Robot-sentience action-mystery, which seems to take place in a universe similar to Known Space, or the Becky chambers novels (for instance). A futuristic workplace novel. Many of the SecUnit's feelings about work, co-workers, & workplace interactions are familiar; they're probably even more familiar to IT people & temp workers (see also Haiku Tunnel 2001). Doesn't get too bogged down with too much world-building explication. Explores hypothetical cyborg psychology. Could make a good movie/series, but they'd have to get the internal monologue right, and they would have to depict the soap space operas that Murderbot watches. Can't wait to read the sequels!
