I binge-read The Murderbot Diaries (1-7) by @marthawells, and now there are no more out, and I'm feeling unmoored. I have a very long TBR list, but... I want more Murderbot. Difficulty with social reciprocity, comfort in rewatching favorite series, disliking eye contact or touch, and so much more. I get why reviews say this series is "one of the most human experiences you can have in sci-fi." @actuallyautistic@bookstodon
@oldmankris I also enjoyed that series, but it’s been well over a decade since I read it and I can’t recall if I completed the series. I’ll revisit it. Thank you!
@BZBrainz@actuallyautistic@bookstodon Try the Ancillary Justice series by Anne Leckie. Substitute special interest in music for watching media for comfort.
Also Martha Wells' #Raksura series is fantasy, but the main character shares some issues with Murderbot, like difficulty with socializing, but for different reasons. It's a kind of fantasy that doesn't feel formulaic like so many other fantasy books/series I've never finished.
