Synopsis

"A murderous android discovers itself in All Systems Red, a tense science fiction adventure by Martha Wells that interrogates the roots of consciousness through Artificial Intelligence.
""As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure.""
In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.
But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern.
On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.
But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.
Performed by David Cui Cui, Khaya Fraites, Zeke Alton, Alejandro Ruiz, Aure Nash, Bradley Foster Smith, Holly Adams, Megan Dorminy, Natalie Van Sistine, Michael John Casey, Rayner Gabriel, Shanta Parasuraman, Tanja Milojevic and Wyn Delano."

Thing is, Murderbot doesn’t really like humans and would rather watch entertainment videos all day. Fun nove......more

Here's the thumbnail review: Every good thing you've heard about Murderbot is true. And that may be enough of a review for you. But here's a bit more. This reminded me of my older forays into SF. It's a book that simply dumps you into a world. Murderbot doesn't stop to explain the world to you as you......more

All Systems Red did not waste any time letting readers know Murderbot is our spirit animal. This will be a short review. All Systems Red is the first book in The Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells. I've heard tons of praise about this novella and series. All Systems Red, in particular, has rece......more

Goodreads review by Lisa of Troy on August 20, 2024

A cross between Project Hail Mary and Star Wars All Systems Red is a fun, quick, fast-paced read! A group of scientists are gathering samples on a distant planet. In order to have their trip approved, they have to bring along a Company-provided SecUnit, a part robot, part human security agent. However......more
