Aside from not being an engineered professional killer addicted to soap operas, I really related to Martha Wells’s Murderbot.

My head does not follow the centreline of “normal people,” and Martha Wells delivers an anti-hero who resonates superbly. I was utterly sucked into Murderbot’s struggle to reconcile an internal conflict between off-centre emotional responses and the expectations of those “normal people” and never falling back into the cop-out of “fixing” Murderbot to be “normal.” Oh, and it's a cracking good story, as well.
