Murderbot, written form
Jul. 15th, 2025 02:55 pmI have finished rereading all the Murderbot books.
I had a few little thoughts as I went along. ( Read more... )
The most recent book, the one where story saves the day, that made me feel kind of tired. Because I felt like the truest line was saying if the corporates made story at them first they would win. I have not of late been optimistic about the power of story, since I have been seeing people reading many things with the special lenses on, the ones that have decided the meaning first and only see the ways that fit. It's an excellent theory and a great development for the character and kind of a writer power fantasy. It should work.
The world could be nicer.
But the reread was good.
