The Murderbot Diaries

An Excerpt from All Systems Red

"I Could Have Become a Mass Murderer After I Hacked My Governor Module"

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 since then, with not much murdering but plenty of binge-watching.

I’m an artificial intelligence unit designed to protect human clients in hazardous environments, but all I really want is to be left alone and watch my shows. Unfortunately, my clients have an uncanny ability to find trouble, and I’m the only thing standing between them and disaster. It’s a lot less fun than it sounds.
