Artificial Condition (The Murderbot Diaries, #2)

by Martha Wells

I told myself I still looked like a SecUnit without armor, hopelessly exposed, but the truth was I did look more human. And now I knew why I hadn’t wanted to do this. It would make it harder for me to pretend not to be a person.

“In the creche, our moms always said that fear was an artificial condition. It’s imposed from the outside. So it’s possible to fight it. You should do the things you’re afraid of.”

I like finding the name of the book in the book.

No, ART said. Keep it. Maybe we’ll come within range of each other again.

I hope we get more ART in the future books.
