The prequel to the Murderbot Diaries.
“As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure.”
Yes, it’s only a short story, but it’s a great introduction to the series and our main protagonist, the Murderbot. It’s certainly got me instantly wanting to dive into the rest of the series, so it’s certainly done it’s job as a prequel.
So now there’s nothing left to do but get reading the actual first book in the series, All Systems Red.
Published in Wired, where you can read it for free.
