"As a heartless killing machine, I was a
complete failure."
In a corporate-dominated
spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and
supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied
by Company-supplied security androids, for their own
safety.
But in a society where contracts are awarded
to the lowest bidder, safety isn't a primary
concern.
On a distant planet, a team of scientists
are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their
Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has
hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though
never out loud) as "Murderbot." Scornful of humans, all it
really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out
who it is (and to watch its favorite show in its
downtime.)
But when a neighboring mission goes dark,
it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the
truth.
