Haven’t seen any chatter here a out the new Murderbot show.

My wife and I are absolutely loving it so far, feels like a really faithful and respectful adaptation to the books, with most of the changes being positive!

Anyone else watching this?

    In the books, you couldn’t mistake Murderbot for a human.

    In the books, Murderbot repeatedly remarks that it can easily pass for human among humans, but other constructs would spot it immediately.

          The series is the next book on my list, and I flew from them first time. Looking forwards to rereading (I never normally reread). :-)

            Oh that’s fair, I also flew through all of the books sans the most recent one which I haven’t been able to bring myself to finish the last one even on my rereads (murderbot has become my sanctuary moon).

            I will say that pre ART modifications people with extensive experience and knowledge of secunits would have likely been able to clock MB as a SecUnit (part of the reason WHY they went through with the modifications given where they were heading)
