Get the fuck out! I had no idea.

Please, please, please don't let them fuck this up. Apple, so there's a chance it is ok.

Really satisfied with Skarsgard in that pic too. He looks like he is uncomfortable just like Murderbot was.

I really hope they can pull this off. The cover of the SubPress version of Murderbot Diaries is a cool illustration of Sec Unit. I flipped through the illustrations of the other books and didn't see any other full body concept of what he looks like with or without his armor.

There's a nice collection of the short stories available on Amazon for $40 as well. These four were collected together in the "Murderbot Diaries" book.
"Network Effect" and "System Collapse" are full standalone books, and "Fugitive Telemetry" is another short story that occurs between the two novels. Eventually I guess that'll be grouped up with other short stories into a second collection.

There was aslo a good article with the author of the series in Wired. And some college graduation speech she gave a while back that I read. Anyways, they give some insights in to the creation of Murderbot. It'll be interesting to see how approach him in the show. Sec Unit really doesn't like his helmet off but can't imagine them not showing Skarsgard's face 90% of the time.

The books are super fun. This could be great. Cautiously stoked.

It worked for The Mandalorian. Alternatively maybe they could have some sort of "Iron Man helmet" deal where his internal monologue is done with face.
