    I love Murderbot! The books are really short, so they’d adapt well to the screen.

    I’m a little concerned about how to portray Murderbot, though. It’s very explicitly genderless. I feel like Tarzan is a little too manly to do Murderbot justice. This would be the perfect role for some non-binary actor to get some representation. Like the adjudicator from John Wick.

      It’s really interesting how often, in discussions of the books, some people say they pictured Murderbot as male, some female, and some genderless. I thought the author made it explicitly genderless, but a non-trivial number of people went one way or the other.

    If anyone is looking for a few audiobooks I really enjoyed Martha Well’s The Fall of Ile-Rien series as read by Talmadge Ragan. They were wonderfull and I really dug Ragan’s narration.
