Murderbot is probably one of my favorite characters in literature. The entire series is amazing. We actually named our newest dog Security Consultant Rin from Rogue Protocol. We call her Rin for short obviously. I'd love to read an analysis of Murderbot because I feel like I relate so much to them as a character.

That's a great name! Give your Security Consultant a skritch from me , please

She appreciates your support in her security endeavors. She enjoys the occasional skritch between patrols of the perimeter because she doesn't trust our station security.

Murderbot reads pretty strongly as some variety of neurodivergent in my opinion. An intensely well-written character whose blatant awkwardness is relatable rather than off-putting.

Im on the spectrum, and I had the same impression.

I'm not on the spectrum (officially), but I've had a few armchair diagnoses claiming I clearly am. I kinda figured that was the reason I related to them so well.
