Liked it a bit more than the first one, I think the pairing with the ship navigator works well. The murderbot character is also growing a bit more depth, which makes it interesting, and there's a sense of mystery and "something bigger is happening" that is slowly taking on through the short novella, making me willing to go further down the road. Still was expecting way more in terms of narrator due to all the public discussions around those books, but it's interesting nevertheless.

So they made us smarter. The anxiety and depression were side effects
