Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells

2) Artificial Condition - 160 pages
3) Rogue Protocol - 160 pages
4) Exit Strategy - 160 pages
5) Network Effect - 346 pages

The first book in this series won pretty much every novella award there is for SciFi:
Winner: 2018 Hugo Award for Best Novella
Winner: 2018 Nebula Award for Best Novella
Winner: 2018 Alex Award
Winner: 2018 Locus Award

This a great gripping series that is a first person narrative of the evolution of the self-named "Murderbot" into a free being making its own choices.  It's a darkly funny look into a future where planets are dominated by corporations controlling all levels of commerce and daily activities.  Murderbot hacks its governor module to find out the truth of its own past with the added bonus of being able to watch as many shows as possibly in the media feed.  (We all can relate to that for sure!)   I highly recommend this series and look forward to the next one.
