All Systems Red

ETH.3N from Call of Duty Infinite Warfare meets Bicentennial Man. Not as thought-provoking and complex as the casual name drop comparisons it offers: Westworld and Ex Machina. But I did enjoy the characters—well their set-up as this is a series—and the possibilities that this Murderbot with a heart can reach. I think a more apt pop culture comparison would be Detroit Become Human. Perhaps the follow-up books in the series will get more into the desired complexities.
