The series is about an artificial construct designed as a Security Unit, which manages to override its governor unit, thus enabling it to develop independence. It calls itself Murderbot, and likes to watch unrealistic soap operas. As it spends more time with some caring humans, it starts developing feelings that it does not care for.
Tenka svizna knizecka. Druha pulka uz trochu pomalejsi. Rozho zkusim dalsi dily, vypada, ze budou spis volne navazovat. Jinak kdo ceka promakanej svet/hard scifi, to tu nenajde. Je to lehka odpocinkovka se vsema kladama i zaporama at uz v deji nebo popisu sveta kolem.
I am reminded of one comment I read some time ago from somebody talking about machine intelligence - tehy weren't so much interested in what art a machine would make for humans, but what they would make for one another. To some extent, this series explores that.

It's a short novel so I can't expect much in character development outside of the main one, but that is my one critique: I'd like to know more about the other members of the crew and their situations.
But overall it was a fun listen; engaging, interesting, suspenseful.

I haven't been so compelled to read since a teenager. Murderbot sucked me in completely.
