À propos de cet audio

Long-listed, Library Journal Best Books of the Year, 2024

This program is read by Hugo Award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky.

Murderbot meets Redshirts in a delightfully humorous tale of robotic murder from the Hugo-nominated author of Elder Race and Children of Time.

To fix the world they must first break it, further.

Humanity is a dying breed, utterly reliant on artificial labor and service.

When a domesticated robot gets a nasty little idea downloaded into its core programming, they murder their owner. The robot discovers they can also do something else they never did before: They can run away.

Fleeing the household they enter a wider world they never knew existed, where the age-old hierarchy of humans at the top is disintegrating into ruins and an entire robot ecosystem devoted to human wellbeing is having to find a new purpose.

Sometimes all it takes is a nudge to overcome the limits of your programming.

I really loved this audiobook. It had some sad moments, funny moments, and some funny sad moments (as a canadian, is that what british humor is?) It was a nice adventure and I enjoyed the whole ride. The narration by the author was great. Tchaikovsky has a diverse character voice portfolio. The low reviews should not be considered as they were written by defective units that are awaiting data compression.

In a genre full of sapient robots, this book instantly stands out. The dissonance from clashing human-dictated policies had me laughing out loud. And although I had my doubts that the book would adequately sum up all relevant threads, it did so with gusto by the end. I definitely recommend it!

Hilarious!

Great voice acting, great characters, very fun. Just finished Sea of Rust and this is the book that should have been the sequel. Or prequel/Origin story.

Its great

I was looking for something light and frothy that stayed clever and this absolutely delivered. The author put many professional narrators to shame and was engaging throughout.

Whether it is intended or not, this book has some incredibly clever metaphors and a brilliant look at society. The dialogue between the two main characters is quite humorous.

4.5⭐️, rounded up to 5. So much to like about this audiobook, starting with the fact it’s a standalone novel and not part of a lengthy series. Particularly enjoyed the author’s narration, and don’t forget the writing! At times philosophical, funny, heart warming and chilling. A real treat.

A fun, dystopian romp!

I loved it. I wasn’t expecting much - but did not want to put it down. In a world where how we prompt and interact with AI is becoming a necessity- it made me think. A cautionary tale, and yet I laughed throughout. Bravo well done.

Hilarious, philosophical, heartwarming surprisingly enjoyable.
