It's a book. It's short. It's a sci-fi story that covers a cyborg's(robot with organic material?) life after it has removed it's regulator. It's obsessed with consuming media. It learns to have pals. It's a story we are getting from murderbot's memoir-vlog. It's capitalist future wheee corporate planetary expeditions are led and there's some neo-liberal form of this that exists as “preservation”. Preservation lets units exist as free entities but requires that they be signed to a human guardian.
People commonly practice polygamy.
People feel for robot rights.
Some people are greedy.
Some people are less so.
Story is not really fun or new.
It does not explore new concepts (other than a muderbot that loves consuming media).
It's a “soft” sci-fi that has no challenging/thought provoking elements.
