I just found this series and have burned through five of the books so far and can’t wait to start the sixth. They are awesome and I can’t stop telling people how good they are.

¡CUIDADO SPOILERS!

Murderbot por fin pertenece a una comunidad, a una familia, a algo más grande que él en donde está por motu proprio y donde es tratado como una persona sin tener que "fingir serlo".
De pronto se pudre todo y no puede, momentáneamente, controlar sus emociones. Las situaciones lo superan, le hacen racionalizar y tratar de ignorar las partes orgánicas de su cuerpo que le dan contexto físico a sus emociones.
Pero Murderbot sigue adelante, supera las barreras. No lo hace sólo, casi siempre hay alguien ayudando o acompañándolo; viejxs y nuevxs amigxs, personas que no son lo que tradicionalmente se llamaría una "persona", humanxs y construcciones que sólo quieren ayudar. Otra vez, *emociones*.

"I was glad I could pretend to be too overwhelmed by being reassembled to respond, because I kind of was overwhelmed. That was ART, and my humans, and humans I had known for maybe five minutes, and a Barish-Estranza SecUnit that 2.0 had randomly found, all cooperating to retrieve me. I’m going to stop talking for a while now."

Este libro es sobre las relaciones, la amistad, la familia, el amor y todo, desde la perspectiva de una persona muy desconfiada, ansiosa y con casi cero inteligencia emocional. Pero que está dispuesta a sentirlo todo, a intentarlo todo, con tal de no volver a ser una herramienta.

Este libro me hace sentir bien.

What's not to love about a killer sentient robot with anxiety, imposter syndrome, and a complete disbelief that anyone might actually like it. I've never read or watched anything about a robot that seemed this human. In fact, I've rarely read or watched anything about humans that feel this human.
