It will follow human orders if it see fit to do so. However, it is getting more comfortable with humans. Even though it has a face, it does not like to interface with humans, yes, very introverted. It prefers to internally watch its 35,000 hours of downloaded media such as episodes of 'The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon' and 'Lineages of the Sun'. It has hacked its governor and no longer allows the governor to give it orders or inflict pain. Murderbot is a self named SecUnit due to an unfortunate circumstance with 57 miners on a remote moon. The SecUnit can sustain severe damage to everything but the head and still survive. It has a energy gun in each arm and several cameras, all directly wired to the brain. There is a MedSystem computer with an AI, a HubUnit computer with an AI, and a governor module that can force the SecUnit to follow orders using pain sensors in the brain. All of the major arteries and veins have clamps to stop bleeding in case of damage. But, there are arteries and veins to keep the skin and brain alive. Somehow, the blood is enriched with electricity as there is no stomach or intestines. There are lungs, there is a blood mixture with a synthetic, there is human skin over the entire body, there is a face.

There is a human brain in there but it is run by the AIs embedded in its genderless torso. Murderbot is a SecUnit, similar to a T-800 Terminator with a cloned and severely modified human head. Book number seven will be released in September 2023 and is a full length novel. The series won the 2021 Hugo for the best series also.

The first novella in the series won the 2018 Hugo, Nebula, Alex, and Locus awards. I read the well printed and well bound hardcover published by Tor in 2021 that I bought new from Amazon.
