If you loved Murderbot’s sardonic wit and self-aware sense of humor in System Collapse, you’ll be delighted by Sibling Dex and Mosscap’s banter in A Psalm for the Wild-Built. Chambers crafts a gentle, humorous exploration of identity and purpose, with dialogue and internal commentary that will make you smile and think—much like Murderbot’s running commentary on humans, robots, and the absurdity of existence.

If you found yourself fascinated by Murderbot’s complicated relationship with its own autonomy, ethics, and the systems of power in System Collapse, you’ll be absorbed by Breq’s journey in Ancillary Justice. As an AI former starship grappling with identity, loyalty, and justice, Breq’s story is rich with questions of morality and the blurry lines between right and wrong.

If you enjoyed the dynamic team—ART the transport ship, Dr. Mensah, and the rest of Murderbot’s crew—in System Collapse, you’ll love the found family of the Wayfarer in The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. Each character is distinct and lovable, their relationships forming the emotional core of this feel-good space adventure.

If the rapid, edge-of-your-seat pacing and constant sense of danger in System Collapse kept you hooked, you’ll appreciate the relentless momentum in All Systems Red. The original Murderbot novella packs nonstop tension, quick-witted internal monologue, and action-packed sequences into a tight, breathless story.

If Murderbot’s evolving sense of self and emotional development stood out to you in System Collapse, you’ll be moved by the journey of Sidra, an AI adapting to a new body and new life, in A Closed and Common Orbit. This character-driven story is all about finding identity, forging connections, and overcoming trauma in a universe that doesn’t always make it easy.
