The "I love Murderbot!" —Ann Leckie
Artificial Condition is the follow-up to Martha Wells's Hugo, Nebula, Alex, and Locus Award-winning, New York Times bestselling All Systems Red
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…

Reviews
Great “F you” fella to follow
5By BrewgeI love this guy from start to finish just by following he viewpoint.Too short, no depth
1By SoflasurfrThis isn’t a book, it’s a novella. The first 3-5 books should be sold as one.What is it like to be not human?
5By Pony14The book does a remarkable job prying into that impossible question. I have never read such a character. I am 97% sure you will love this book. Read it.Soulful Synths
5By Self “Installation” #UninstallMurderbot, like some of the greatest portrayals of synthetic or digital intelligence, is often more human than humans. There is profound empathy and compassion in these pages, and so much joyful humor. Stakes? Yes. Worth every one of them? Also yes. This is wonderful warm sci-fi that reminds you there are reasons to hope!Sci-Fi Jack Reacher
5By Lou VestJust as page turningly satisfying as one of the Reacher books.Price inelastic
5By dickster0518Enjoy Murderbot stories and Wells’ full length novels. Grimace at the price of her works but she’s such a fine author I cannot begrudge her prosperity.Such a great story!
5By LMBfanWell written, great characters, excellent story!Tweener
4By Sputnick1986As a second book it was a good continuation of the story however it felt like a great story that was cut up into several pieces than individual books. This story was very short for $11. To get through the series it would take like $60-$70 for a story the same length as a $15-20 book with sever hundred pages. To each their own…Price to Length Ratio is a Bummer
3By HPFisherThe writing is great and the characters are intriguing. I’d keep reading the series but at $.62 cents-ish a page it isn’t worth it. Three stars for the pricing.When a singularity and a human collide
4By LeonF63Artificial Condition is an entertaining story. You meet the primary guest character and are left wondering how this will play out. Think of it as two of Stephen Hawking’s Singularities meet in an airlock, and highly intelligent mayhem ensues. Murderbot takes on a small and quick job to get access to what they are after. Mild physical violence depicted as disdainfully easy provides humor in several interactions. It is like listening to a demi-god’s thoughts during a battle with a human. Like the first novel, Murderbot needs a therapist to help address their self-doubts, negative self-talk, and general anxiety. It makes for a fun and quick read that is good for passing the time. I hope you enjoy it.
