       Finished the Murderbot series, where corporations run surveillance everywhere, and went back to the Dresden Files, set in the early 2000s.I kept thinking to myself:  don't forget to hack the cameras!I'm sorry the Murderbot series has ended, but I respect an author who says she's out of stories.  And the ending was good.

       @tj I haven't finished Murderbot yet. Bae took them from me. Have you read the Cyberpunk genre core novels?

       @rubberducky I have read many cyberpunk novels, including a lot of works by the old masters of SciFi.

       @sirjames The first Murderbot novella was a little rocky - the author was settling into a new universe, and didn't get the hang of it on the first try.  I like the character more than I like the plots.  There's a bit of the Superman problem - if your character is nigh invincible, how do you create dramatic tension?
