"Despite being a powerful and lethal security unit, Murderbot is an extreme introvert. Its primary goal is to be left alone so it can spend its time watching hours of its favorite soap operas and other media. It's highly cynical, sarcastic, and finds human interaction to be awkward and tedious. However, it also finds itself unexpectedly forming bonds with the humans it's supposed to protect, which leads to a lot of internal conflict and reluctant heroism."

I just finished reading the first story in the #Murderbot series, thanks to the above Humble Bundle.

I was not expecting to get Bucky Barnes Winter Soldier feels!

Oh, good analogy!

Because it fits so well!
The main character:
1. Is a cyborg.
2. Treated like property.
3. Involuntarily became a mass-murderer.
4. Overcomes his programming.
5. Is totally badass.
6. Doesn't know how to be a person.
7. Wants to be left in peace.
8. But keeps on getting involved because he has a protecting-people thing.
