book!

Rereading all systems red and the first 2 chapters are strong contenders for funniest intro to a book series. Jumping straight to action, and mb is giving us absolutely no info about anything. Who are those people? Some weird hippies it's not important. Why are they here? Mb does not give a shit. What is this planet? Fuck if it knows. Here is a small paragraph that fucking states everyone's relationship status like a wiki article that we are never gonna get back to. Ugh there are hostiles that keep us away from our media #our media.

Fugitive Telemetry is so personal to me because it's a quieter story exploring the way murderbot is treated as a pariah in society and the subtle prejudice of even this socialist utopia. The way you can feel murderbot so loved and supported by its humans with Pin-Lee making sure it has a solid working contract to conversations with Dr. Bharadwaj where it talks about having to deal with other people knowing that it's a secunit instead of a bot/augmented human. It's about having an identity that society at large feels is so threatening you have to reveal it regardless of your comfort.
