Yeah, I have a complicated relationship with 'who gets to be a person'
books. It usually goes like this:
Book: But does x get to be a person?
Me: Yes. Moving on.
Book: But do they?
Me: ...We just did this. It's not hard.
Book: But do they?
Me: Okay, the fact you have to think this hard about it is pretty gross....
One of the things I actually liked about this book is that Murderbot
seemed pretty uninterested in the question. Other people were, but
Murderbot didn't really want to engage about that. I appreciated that.
