Rebecca and Tori chat Murderbot season one, episodes 3 and 4. We discuss how the TV adaptation expands upon the original novella, adding depth to the characters and themes. We begin a discussion of the ethics of the fabrication of sentient units and broach the philosophical question about what it means to be human. Tori would like to mention that she is aware that "indentured servitudes" is not a thing and that she should have said servants.
