In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future where planetary missions are approved by the Company, safety takes a backseat to low contracts. But what happens when the security android meant to protect scientists develops its own agenda?
Imagine being born a heartless killing machine but discovering you'd rather watch TV shows than perform your programmed duties. That's the dilemma facing "Murderbot," a security android that successfully hacked its own governor module. "As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure," it admits, revealing a personality more interested in media consumption than mayhem.
