“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”

Step back into the sharp, self-aware world of The Murderbot Diaries with Platform Decay, the latest installment from acclaimed author Martha Wells.
In this new chapter, Murderbot is once again caught between its desire to be left alone with its media feed and the messy, unpredictable reality of humans who keep needing its help. As tensions rise and systems begin to break down, what starts as another routine security job quickly spirals into something far more dangerous—forcing Murderbot to confront not just external threats, but the limits of its own autonomy.
In the past, we've done our best to offer new titles that are signed by the author. In accordance with that tradition, we are offering Platform Decay to you with your choice of one of two of our Worldbuilders Exclusive signed bookplates! Choose from the black and white "Sanctuary Moon" art design by none other than Nate Taylor, or "ART Sent Me" created by our wonderful friends at Pixelladium Creations!
The "ART Sent Me" design was originally created as an enamel pin which you can find right here. We also now have the design available on a t-shirt that we were allowed to create! Pick up our newest apparel addition here!
You can find other items by Martha Wells, including more titles from the Murderbot series, in our Martha Wells Collection.
