Martha Wells: I didn’t know how non-neurotypical I was until Murderbot

Martha Wells is the author of All Systems Red, the first novella in the Murderbot series. The book follows the adventures of a sentient machine intelligence that hacks the system supposed to be controlling it, then discovers that what it really enjoys doing is watching TV. She talks to Sophie Bushwick about how she came up with the idea for the series, how it was originally intended to be a short story and how writing about the way Murderbot processes emotions led to a revelation of her own.
