All Systems Read - A Murderbot Podcast

Question 4: “Fear was an artificial condition.”

Does your family or culture have a saying that is inspiring or meaningful even if it is a little odd to others.

Question 3: SexBots—I mean Comfort Units—are vaguely mentioned in ASR. Do you think the Comfort Unit will have the same problems ‘passing as human’ as a SecUnit? What do you think its plan is now?

Question 2: Murderbot wants to tell the team to not take the meeting but does not do so. We had a similar incident with going to Deltfall in ASR. Do you think that Murderbot had a flashback to that incident? Especially since it once again regrets not speaking up

Question 1: We finally get to directly experience the Corporation Rim. How did it meet your expectations based upon what we learned in All Systems Red?
