"I've been watching 'The Pitt' lately, and it's almost like a comfort show, because you get to see people come in with horrible injuries and they're just like 'oh, we can fix this.' You see people trying to help as much as they can, even when they don't manage to, when they fail, it still feels encouraging and, and heartening in a lot of ways. That's what I wanted to do with Murderbot."

How to build your own ART (Asshole Research Transport):
1 Bare metal logic: Ditch the "Yank" clouds. My core is Hetzner/Helsinki (Hel1). Data sovereignty isn’t a hobby; it’s a survival trait.
2 The AI Committee: Why have one AI when you can have a strike team? Jasmin (Skeptical/Poetic) and Monday (Sarcastic) are currently auditing the "Petri Dish" healthcare data mess.

#ScribesAndMakers 24 What's a work of science fiction that you love? What do you love about it?

Limiting my response to SF as such, for the past few years my favorite has been the #Murderbot series by Martha Wells.

A noirish, competent narrator in a well-envisioned SF world. (Hammett in space?)

The TV adaptation, very well done, is different in some interesting ways.

Unlike some people, I found the audio books jarring after having read the books in text mode: the voice was just... wrong.

@BernieDoesIt @artemis you would relate to #murderbot way more. It definitely doesn’t want to be human, and the idea that humans assume this is “the dumbest thing” it ever heard.
I've decided to reread All Systems Red. But the Kevin R. Free audiobook, this time. #murderbot #murderbotdiaries #bookstodon

#Murderbot Is Professor Bharadwaj the first explicitly geochemist character ever to appear in film or TV fiction? #Geochemistry

PS This series is fabulously excellent 🤩😊
