Our view
“Rapport: Friendship, Solidarity, Communion, Empathy” is a short, funny side story from “The Murderbot Diaries” about Perihelion and its crew. Sent on a dangerous mission of their own, they offer the pleasure of watching humans deal with very different kinds of bot. Some readers feel it reads like a middle chapter lifted from a longer book, which makes it a treat for those who already know the series and a poor first meeting with it.
