It has a dark past - one in which a number of humans were killed. A past that caused it to christen itself "Murderbot." But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more. Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don't want to know what the "A" stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue.

Excellent collection!
My favourite story was "The Magician and LaPlace's Demon" by Tom Crosshill, but every story is really good. Well worth the credit!
