I've been reading @marthawells ' #murderbot series and then took a break from that to read @pluralistic 's #Enshittification and WOW it really feels like the corporatocracy future of the former is the sequel to the latter

Trotz des guten Zitats und so manch guter Sequenz, holt mich das Buch bisher nicht wirklich ab und ich erwische mich dabei, mich zu freuen, dass es ein recht kurzes Buch ist. Sci-Fi ist außerhalb von Star Trek einfach nicht mein Genre.
@fuzzyleapfrog Hast du dir mal die Buchreihe zu #Murderbot angesehen? Die sind alle nicht zu lang und ich finde den Plot ganz gut. Vielleicht auch etwas für dich?

Made the 'mistake' of reading the first #Murderbot story yesterday and have ended up diving through the next three today. Fortunately, I picked them up when they were in a bundle! Really enjoying them - pacing great, stories sharp and some wry humour.

I have such amazing reading this weekend - borrowed #Enshittification by @pluralistic via my local library. The case studies of #Google and #Amazon are on point & disturbing. Hoping to see mention of #Mastodon &/or the #Activitypub protocol at some point 👀😆
Got the ARC #Murderbot new book by @marthawells , Platform Decay. As much as I dislike the TV series, so far this installment is just as wry & funny as the book series so I'm in a super relieved, grateful place🧵 1/?

Just discovered Murderbot, in which Alexander Skarsgård plays a security drone who's hacked the module that makes it obey humans.
It's sent on duty with a group of hippies from an anarchist planet, and tries to make sense of how they relate to each other. While trying to keep them safe and avoid revealing it's "gone rogue".

It was a real moreish series, and stuck well to the books. The next series should be aired in 2026, but in the meantime I'd recommend the Murderbot Diaries books that the show was based of. The author is online at @marthawells, of this parish.

In case anyone needs reminding, the #Murderbot #book bundle is available for two more days, and you can adjust how much of the money goes to the charity.

@arendleejessurun Many libraries stock the novellas by Becky Chambers - science fiction with found families. Great #books for people needing hope.
If you haven't read #Murderbot books by Martha Wells try them too, First in series are in a current HumbleBundle rasing funds for World Kitchen. There's also the AppleTV Murderbot series based on the first book, All Systems Red.
