Suoraa jatkoa Network Effectille, jossa Murhabotti ihmisineen selvitteli siirtokunnan asioita planeetan pinnalla.
Toinen yhtiö ei vaan luovuta vaan haluaa kaikki asukkaat orjatyöläisiksi, mitä Murhabotin ihmiset haluavat estää. Siirtokunnan historiasta selviää uusia asioita ja täytyy lähteä tuntematonta kohti. Murhabotti itse ei ole oikein kunnossa.
Kirja lähti liikkeelle melko täysillä ja selittelemättä. Oli niin paljon erilaisia tunneleita ja hangaareja että vähän jo eksyin niihin. Ehkä ei ihan paras sarjassa.
Just finished the newest book in the murderbot series and it was awesome. Picking up where the last book left off it explores relationships with "lost" human colonies, and working to translate the cultural and social consequences of being reconnected to the corporate rim world's and the corporations and capitalism space feudal logics that entails. Really like this one alot, recommend it for anyone already in the series but hasn't picked it up yet.

I continue to love the Murderbot series. By this point, the action parts have lost impact because there's too much precedent for how they're going to turn out, so I think it's wise of Wells to play that part down a bit in this book, in favour of a story more about persuasion and trust building. And the ongoing saga of Murderbot learning about both its limits and capabilities continues to be one of the most relatable arcs in SF/F.

System Collapse is the direct sequel to Network Effect (Book 5), therefore, it is highly recommended to review it prior to diving into this one. There is no introductory summary, and initially there are characters aplenty that would make you feel confused if you've totally forgotten the previous story.
Murderbot is having more feels, even if it doesn't like it. It continues bonding with more humans, and consuming digital media on the side to help it cope with everything going on. We still see it analyzing and overcoming the many situations it gets into (or rather dragged into by its humans), but it is struggling as it bears the weight of the recent events.
This new story has a more introspect and trauma-overcoming tone compared to Fugitive Telemetry's murder mystery and the action-focused Network Effect, but the action scenes are still there and still great.

The series has been really relatable to me so far, and this is no exception. I continuously see glimpses of my own experiences and inner monologues in Murderbot. This one went a bit deeper though. I also have a diary where I've redacted a traumatic event that I tend to not think or talk about, and I had to learn how to process it. I don't blame Murderbot for not knowing how to process things; I'm human and I don't know how to process 90% of my emotions (yeah, I just had my performance reliability drop by 4 points). This read left me feeling emotions so I'm going to the couch to process them in private.
I'm really glad to have given the whole series a read over the last couple of months 🤖💜
