Murderbot is MurderBACK in the next installment of Martha Wells’s NYT bestselling Murderbot Diaries series System Collapse 🤖🚀

WHAT’S IT ABOUT

Following the events of Network Effect, our favorite lethally cybernetic television fiend has done the previously unthinkable: agreed to accompany the sentient spaceship Perihelion (dubbed ART by Murderbot, short for Asshole Research Transport) and crew on its next mission. 

Unfortunately, they’re not going to get too far. 

Having failed to harvest dangerous artifacts from their target planet by way of Murderbot misadventure, the Barish-Estranza corporation is much angered and determined to recoup their considerable losses. And when you’re a lethally opportunistic space corp, blood and muscle are valuable currency. 

Murderbot, ART’s crew, and the Preservation humans have planetside work to do as Barish-Estranza seeks to claim the planet’s beleaguered colony as a conscripted workforce. 
But for Murderbot, the challenge is as internal as it is external. Something is deeply, deeply wrong with it. Normal operational parameters are unmet, but with the corp’s SecUnit-heavy persuasion teams en route, Murderbot needs to resolve its issues, and fast!

i hate that captcha that’s like “click every image with a bicycle in it” and they’re all tiny and cluttered and i don’t have my glasses on

well i guess it’s a good excuse to stop watching the stressful thing for now

It’s okay, there’s an audio option! Because everyone can make out a distorted version of a word, amirite?

strictlyquadrilateral

#because nobody even vaguely considered autistic people when making captchas

yeah, my reaction to the audio option is always “well that sure was an automated voice, i wonder what it said?”

crunchyroll, do you even have a problem with bots watching naruto? can’t you just… let them?

screencap from ebook, All Systems Red, by Martha Wells:

CHAPTER ONE. I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized I could access the combined feed of entertainment channels carried on the company satellites. It had been well over 35,000 hours or so since then, with still not much murdering, but probably, I don’t know, a little under 35,000 hours of movies, serials, books, plays, and music consumed. As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.
