It's funny coz I always thought murderbot was a girl bot, but he is surprisingly a good awkward bot 🥹

Mostly starting because I need a short audiobook while I craft today and I have heard good things. Wild that it drops you straight into the story like this!

All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries, #1)

Martha Wells

In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is. But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.

This book is meant to be DEVOURED. I will probably reread one day because I know I missed lots of cool details because I just HAD to know what was next. Such a fascinating way to come face to face with America's past and present relationships with race. I especially love how the main character, Dana, serves as a stand in for the readers at moments. I shared her incredulity at the things she saw, shared her changing sentiments as she developed more compassion for those around her, and shared her relief in some scary moments. This book really caused me to leave reality behind for the world Butler creates.

What is up with Butler and older men?

This is the second/third book I've read by Octavia E. Butler (I read both of the Parable books and they are really one story even if they are separate books). Both of these feature intrepid young women with notably older men. From what I read about her life, she never had a long term partner and was likely more interested in women. So why the older men? What do you guys think?

Kindred

Octavia E. Butler

The visionary author’s masterpiece pulls us—along with her Black female hero—through time to face the horrors of slavery and explore the impacts of racism, sexism, and white supremacy then and now. Dana, a modern Black woman, is celebrating her 26th birthday with her new husband when she is snatched abruptly from her home in California and transported to the antebellum South. Rufus, the white son of a plantation owner, is drowning, and Dana has been summoned to save him. Dana is drawn back repeatedly through time to the slave quarters, and each time the stay grows longer, more arduous, and more dangerous until it is uncertain whether or not Dana’s life will end, long before it has a chance to begin.

Any brainy people know how accurate the science is?

Cus to tell you that I'm lost on the science is an understatement, yet I somehow feel like I understand it despite knowing nothing about space calculations - its written so well! But seriously, is this accurate or totally pulled out of thin air and completely made up? Because it sounds bloody convincing haha (Note only on chapter 6 so no spoilers please!)

Project Hail Mary

Andy Weir

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone. Or does he?
