My summary of The Murderbot Diaries so far, three books in:
Murderbot: I can’t believe I have to keep these humans from getting themselves killed. Everywhere I go, there are humans who need protecting and this cuts into really valuable media consumption time. This is so annoying.
Everything in the universe, including Murderbot’s own presumably unprecedented free will: You could just not protect the humans.
Murderbot: … No.
(And it’s great.)
