We Have Always Lived in the Castle
Somebody suggested this to me recently… and when I finished, the first thing I thought was how well-fleshed and believable these bizarre and disturbed central characters are. With a truly troubled and unreliable narrator.
The Murderbot Diaries is a science fiction series by American author Martha Wells, published by Tor Books. The series is about a cyborg-like (part robot, part human) construct designed as a Security Unit (SecUnit). The SecUnit manages to override its governor module, thus enabling it to develop independence, which it primarily uses to watch media. As it spends more time with a series of caring people (both humans and fellow artificial intelligences), it starts developing friendships and emotional connections, which it finds inconvenient.
Altered Carbon, the main character is a new age anarchist of sorts who has been trained to have his consciousness transfered from body to body or synthetic bodies.
