‘ I didn’t care what humans were doing to each other as long as I didn’t have to a) stop it or b) clean up after it.’ Set directly after All Systems Red, we find Murderbot struggling with finding a purpose and having some unanswered questions about their past which launches a new chapter of mayhem and murderin’! Okay, more like protecting, and begrudgingly so, because for as brutal of an asskicking Murderbot can deliver they mostly just want to ‘ sink into my media downloads for a while and pretend I didn't exist.’ With a new set of characters, and a research AI named ART (dubbed the Asshole Research Transport by MBot) that I absolutely adore, Artificial Condition is a smart, savvy sci-fi good time that expands Wells’ imaginative world and raises the stakes even higher.
