Haven’t seen any chatter here a out the new Murderbot show.

My wife and I are absolutely loving it so far, feels like a really faithful and respectful adaptation to the books, with most of the changes being positive!

Anyone else watching this?

    It was only after ART’s modifications that Murderbot was able to pass for a heavily augmented human. That was the point of them.

    I hope they show the Preservation more seriously later. It was all vague at the start in the books. Though I will be rereading!

      ARTs modifications helped, but he did walk around prior to receiving them. ART adjusted his height, how his hair grew, ect, but didn’t fundamentally change his looks.

        But the whole point of the modifications was so it could pass as human. Which means beforehand, it was a struggle to.

          Yes, but most of them were things like shortening the legs, growing out the hair, changing their gait, and adding “fidget” algorithms.

          Not major cosmetic changes, and as he says a security would still identify him as a sec unit, but making it so the meatbags… Err, humans, are less likely to notice.

            We remember/interpret it slightly differently. I’ll be rereading soon. See what I second time round. 😀
