This novella has an interesting premise and turned out to be a lot different than I expected. Murderbot isn't just a robot who wants to be left alone and hates humans. Overall, Murderbot as a concept is much more philosophical.

I found the plot quite confusing at the crucial parts and had to reread a few pages now and then. I also don't recommend the audio book because you have to read this book quite closely in order not to miss out on important details.
