From Little Stack
While some sci-fi series use AI and sentient machines to explore philosophical questions, Murderbot skews hard in the opposite directions and asks, “what if a machine was built to protect humans, but just wanted to be left alone to enjoy human pastimes?”
The titular machine has hacked its own governor module and gained autonomy. Now, he just wants to watch soap operas and enjoy time off. But despite his best efforts, he keeps being drawn back into human conflicts—and through them, is given a chance to show off his growing “humanity”.
In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company.
Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.
But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern.
On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.”
Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.
But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.
