Artificial Condition (The Murderbot Diaries, #2)

by Martha Wells

When a major character died in the twentieth episode I had to pause seven minutes while it sat there in the feed doing the bot equivalent of staring at a wall, pretending that it had to run diagnostics.

Humans can miss a lot of little clues, but me being able to fire energy weapons from my arms would be something of a red flag.

for a terrifying murderbot I fuck up a lot.
