À propos de cet audio
The follow-up to the hugely popular science fiction action-adventure All Systems Red
Artificial Condition continues The Murderbot Diaries, a science fiction series that tackles questions of the ethics of sentient robotics. It appeals to fans of Westworld, Ex Machina, Ann Leckie's Imperial Raadch series, or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. The main character is a deadly security droid that has bucked its restrictive programming and is balanced between contemplative self-discovery and an idle instinct to kill all humans. "As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure."
It has a dark past - one in which a number of humans were killed. A past that caused it to christen itself "Murderbot." But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more.
Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don't want to know what the "A" stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue.
What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks.

Scientist Beth Darlow has discovered the unimaginable. She's built a machine that allows human consciousness to travel through time—to any point in the traveler's lifetime—and relive moments of their life. An impossible breakthrough, but it's not perfect: the traveler has no way to interact with the past. They can only observe. After Beth's husband, the co-creator of the machine, dies in a tragic car accident, Beth is left to raise daughter—and continue the work they started. Mired in grief and threatened by her CEO, Beth pushes herself to the limit to prove the value of her technology.

What will become of our self-destructed planet? The answer shatters all expectations in this subversive speculation from the Hugo Award - winning author of the Broken Earth trilogy. An explorer returns to gather information from a climate-ravaged Earth that his ancestors, and others among the planet’s finest, fled centuries ago. The mission comes with a warning: A graveyard world awaits him. But so do those left behind - hopeless and unbeautiful wastes of humanity who should have died out ages ago.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Kingfisher's new novel begins the tale of a murderous band of criminals (and a scholar), thrown together in an attempt to unravel the secret of the Clockwork Boys, mechanical soldiers from a neighboring kingdom that promise ruin to the Dowager's city.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 151
On a cold spring night in 1952, a huge meteorite fell to earth and obliterated much of the East Coast of the US, including Washington, DC. The ensuing climate cataclysm will soon render the Earth inhospitable for humanity, as the last such meteorite did for the dinosaurs. This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort to colonize space and requires a much-larger share of humanity to take part in the process. Elma York’s drive to become the first lady astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions of society may not stand a chance against her.

Murderbot lives up to its name
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
These are fun stories, and aren't underdeveloped despite the short length. Most novels have multiple characters to develop with perspectives, motivations, and stories of their own. There's hardly anything like that here, murderbot is the story and everyone else is ancillary to it. Their perspectives and motivations are basically impenetrable to it, so the characters and relationships feel hollow.
There is a secondary character introduced in this novella, Art the space vessel, but it feels like a deus ex machina that fits into a buddy role for our lone wolf protagonist rather than a developed character. There are hints at a surprising back story of its own, and it's instrumental to this leg of the journey, but murderbot has so little interest in having relationships that Art ends up as little more than a plot device that has everything necessary to solve our heroes immediate problems and then parts ways once the job is done.
Maybe that's a deliberate choice, it works because murderbot doesn't relate to people the way we expect. But it's a bit dissatisfying for the reader and I understand why this gets good, if mixed, reviews.
For what it's worth I'm unlikely to continue on with the story from here. At least not in audiobook form.
These are short for a reason.

Murderbot returns to its past on a new mission and is confronted with new challenges about what it is supposed to be.
Murderbot’s charm and wit is on full display as it works to uncover its own secrets and forge a new path forward. ART is the perfect companion and I hope to see more of this strange little duo going forward.
The book is full of fantastic moments, making it fun from start to finish. I look forward to the next one!
Murderbot strikes again!
