Murderbot Diaries

By Martha Wells

A part-human, part-machine SecUnit hacks its own governor module and then has to figure out what to do with the freedom it didn't ask for. These catch-up guides are written for readers returning to the series — or for newcomers who want to know what they're in for before committing to book one.
