The series is the next book on my list, and I flew from them first time. Looking forwards to rereading (I never normally reread). :-)

We remember/interpret it slightly differently. I'll be rereading soon. See what I second time round. 😀

But the whole point of the modifications was so it could pass as human. Which means beforehand, it was a struggle to.

Poor researched articles is normal. Real journalism is rare. You said Munich was a failure and that really isn't true if MS had to work so hard to squash it.

Agreed. I hope they pull it back. It's clearly where anyone would prefer to live!

After ART's modifications. Other secunits would know from it's gate and general movement, etc.

I remember it being a clear thing, but I'll be rereading soon. It's the book after the next one.

It was only after ART's modifications that Murderbot was able to pass for a heavily augmented human. That was the point of them.

I hope they show the Preservation more seriously later. It was all vague at the start in the books. Though I will be rereading!

I'm not sure Munich can be regarded as a failure. MS corrupted the test case in every way they could. They couldn't afford it to be seen as successful.

Now it's not just cost but American can be seen as a reliable partner. Let anyone an American corporation.

That is how they want everyone to feel so there isn't much fight back. However, I think if there was, and the gloves came off, it may also split Republicans and even Trumpers.

I think commercially, they needed a known actor and who can not only look genderless, but sound it? It is easier in books.

I do see what your saying, it is just the books have a secunit clearly not looking like any gender. They have skimmed over Muderbot's disgust of gender and sex, but in the books it is constant theme. It's visceral.

To have them be genderless is only half way, as secunits, in the books, also look genderless (and not human).

Skarsgård, for a dude, is doing as good a job as he can. Not many known actors could visually do what I'd have preferred, and also can do a ungendered voice. (Any?). I know it's easier to do it books and realistically they needed a well known actor to pull people to the show.

It's just...just.... That's not my Murderbot!
