Sure, I will take advantage of what technologies we have on offer to alter my body-but that’s a personal decision, not one about conforming to society’s ideals of womanhood. I am a woman who wants to be a woman it’s cissexist society that’s standing in the way, not my body. I think some cis people have the idea that trans women are “men who want to be women” and that the various medical and social aspects of our transition are attempts to reify such a desire. It’s also something I can relate to as a trans woman.
This, too, is a refreshing portrayal of artificial life. I feel you, Murderbot! I appreciate Wells’s commentary on how we process our emotions.Īlong the same lines, Murderbot makes it very clear in this book that its goal is not to become human and lampshades this trope’s existence in media. At one point it says something along the lines of how it is experiencing an emotion about real life, which is so much worse than emotions it experiences as a result of the media it consumes. Murderbot’s feelings are exactly at the crux of this novella. Mensah and the others again: on the one hand, it left them abruptly because it didn’t agree with their plans for Murderbot on the other hand, it feels responsible for their current predicament given its involvement in finding possibly evidence of Gra圜ris’s illegal activity. It has mixed feelings about the prospect of seeing Dr. Shortly after the events of Rogue Protocol, Murderbot resolves to track down its original companions, the ones it was with when it hacked its governor module, including Dr. Exit Strategy has left me more excited for that prospect than I might have been previously-with each new novella, Martha Wells has improved my opinion of this series. This is the year I finish the original novellas, but I know I have a whole novel to dive into at some point in the future.
Mensah-its former owner (protector? friend?)-submit evidence that could prevent Gra圜ris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit.īut who's going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue?Īnd what will become of it when it's caught?Īt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.This is the year I finish the Murderbot Diaries! Well, sort of. Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the Gra圜ris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right? Martha Wells returns to her Hugo, Nebula, Alex, and Locus Award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling series, The Murderbot Diaries, in Exit Strategy.
