I just finished rereading Network Effect, and something that stood out to me this time was the way that MB refers to 2.0 in the first person. Amena considers 2.0 to be like ART and MB's kid, and maybe that's closer to the truth than what MB thinks, but MB definitely considers it to be an extension of itself.

When it argues with 2.0, it says "I can't sit here and argue with myself all day". MB refers to it as 'other me', their name as 'our name', and when it kills 2.0, it says "I had killed SecUnits and combat bots before but this was me, sort of, okay not so sort of". It thinks of killing 2.0 as a form of suicide. And then it never addresses it with anyone else. It admits that 2.0 was a person to ART, but it doesn't go any further than that.

It is not even a little surprising to me that MB ends up having a psychological breakdown in the next book. It gives a different weight to Iris telling MB that she doesn't like to think of any part of ART dying. A part of MB did die. It died so that her life could be saved. And no one knows about it, or thinks about it in the same way.

#murderbot #the murderbot diaries #2.0 #network effect #tmbd #maybe this is the reason mb doesn't really try to connect with ART's crew #it killed itself to save them and then they just kept asking for more #but it didn't tell them anything about it so how could they have known to make up for it

Sun Yuan and Peng Yu: Can’t Help Myself Placed behind clear acrylic walls, their robot has one specific duty, to contain a viscous, deep-red liquid within a predetermined area. When the sensors detect that the fluid has strayed too far, the arm frenetically shovels it back into place, leaving smudges on the ground and splashes on the surrounding walls.
