Murderbotthe sardonic, almost-homicidal, media-loving android created by Martha
Wellshas proven to be one of the most popular characters in 21st century science fiction.
Everything that makes this protagonist (it would be wrong to call Murderbot a hero) beloved of
fans is on display in Compulsory.
While trying to watch episode 44 of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon, Murderbot isagain,
what is it with humans?distracted by something that is technically outside its purview. A miner
is suddenly in danger following a pointless (to Murderbot's way of thinking) argument, and the
choice is to risk discovery and leap into action, which would require hitting the pause button
during a very exciting part of Sanctuary Moon, or to follow orders and stay still.
This is a tougher choice than it seems. But then, when has Murderbot ever been faced with an
easy choice?
A shorter version of this story originally appeared in Wired magazine.
