Platform Decay FULL SPOILER Discussion | Is It Worth It?

WARNING: FULL SPOILERS AHEAD! Martha Wells has done it again. Or has she? Zach and Jim aren’t not entirely on the same page here. In this episode, Zach and I dive deep into a FULL SPOIL discussion of Platform Decay, the newest entry in The Murderbot Diaries. From Murderbot’s continuing evolution as a character to the ever-entertaining dynamic with ART, from the action sequences to the emotional moments, we’re breaking down everything that stood out to us in this latest adventure. What worked best? Which characters stole the show? How does this novel compare to the previous books in the series? And perhaps most importantly, what might this ending mean for the future of Murderbot?
