Episode: 102 – [Review] Artificial Condition

from Paperback Friends · host Sam Ögren

We’re back with Martha Wells and The Murderbot Diaries! I really enjoyed All Systems Red, and Artificial Condition continues to show me why I like this series so much.Wells's writing is remarkable restraint, building a surprisingly complex world without drowning the story in unnecessary detail. The corporate politics, world-building, action, and Murderbot itself all work beautifully together.This is another excellent entry in a series that has quickly become one of my easiest recommendations. It may not quite reach five stars for me, but I absolutely want more Murderbot.Type: Review | Book: Artificial Condition | Writer: Martha Wells
