About the author
Martha Wells is an American writer of science fiction and fantasy whose work includes the Ile-Rien novels, the Books of the Raksura, and The Murderbot Diaries. Her fiction often examines outsiders, constructed identity, trust, and forms of personhood institutions fail to recognise.
The Murderbot Diaries uses the first-person voice of a security android that secretly disabled its governor module. Action and corporate intrigue sit beside the narrator's intense preference for privacy, serial entertainment, and relationships it refuses to call attachment.
Where to start
Start with All Systems Red, then read Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol, and Exit Strategy in order for the opening Murderbot novella arc.
