The science fiction series "Murderbot," based on Martha Wells' "The Murderbot Diaries" books, is scheduled to premiere on Apple TV+ on May 16. The show stars Alexander Skarsgård as the title character.
Ahead of the show's debut, the seven books in Wells' acclaimed series are available for purchase at reduced prices on Amazon. Readers have an opportunity to acquire the collection before the adaptation airs.
Titles in the discounted collection include "All Systems Red," "Artificial Condition," "Rogue Protocol," "Exit Strategy," "Network Effect," "Fugitive Telemetry," and "System Collapse." The sale offers various discounts on individual hardcover editions and the complete set.
The narrative centers on a self-aware security unit, which self-identifies as "Murderbot," that has overridden its programming. The story follows its interactions with humans, often characterized by a reluctant protector dynamic.
Many of the "Murderbot" novels are also included with a Kindle Unlimited subscription. This service allows users to access the first six books in the series at no additional cost beyond the monthly fee. A 30-day free trial is available for first-time subscribers.
Alexander Skarsgård, also an executive producer, recently shared details about the series in an inside look at Murderbot. He discussed the title character's perspective and its relationship with a group known as "space hippies" within the story.
Created by Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz, the cast features Noma Dumezweni, David Dastmalchian, Sabrina Wu, Akshay Khanna, Tattiawna Jones, Tamara Podemski, John Cho, Jack McBrayer, Clark Gregg, and DeWanda Wise alongside Skarsgård.
