<p><b>Murderbot meets <i>Redshirts</i> in a delightfully humorous tale of robotic murder from the Hugo-nominated author of <i>Elder Race</i> and <i>Children of Time</i>.</b><br><br><i>To fix the world they must first break it, further.</i><br><br>Humanity is a dying breed, utterly reliant on artificial labor and service.<br><br>When a domesticated robot gets a nasty little idea downloaded into its core programming, they murder their owner. The robot discovers they can also do something else they never did before: They can run away.<br><br>Fleeing the household they enter a wider world they never knew existed, where the age-old hierarchy of humans at the top is disintegrating into ruins and an entire robot ecosystem devoted to human wellbeing is having to find a new purpose.<br><br><i>Sometimes all it takes is a nudge to overcome the limits of your programming.</i></p>
