All systems red
the murderbot diaries
All Systems Red is a 2017 science fiction novella by American author Martha Wells. The first in a series called The Murderbot Diaries, it was published by Tor.com. The series is about an artificial construct designed as a Security Unit, which manages to override its governor unit, thus enabling it to develop independence. It calls itself Murderbot, and likes to watch unrealistic soap operas. As it spends more time with some caring humans, it starts developing feelings that it does not care for.

Exploring humanism through the eyes of an AI security bot

I love the MurderBot series. Martha Wells does such a great job exploring what it means to be a sentient being that I'm often tearing up and laughing within the span of a couple pages. Rinse and Repeat. Start reading and I promise you'll love MurderBot and be aching to read the remainder of the novellas to follow its travels and exploits.

I LOVED All Systems Red. Murderbot might be my new favorite character in all of Sci-Fi. I had to read this for my first grad school class at Emerson, and it was an overall winner. Highly recommended if you like Sci-Fi, or if you like character-driven stories that are quick-paced, with decent action and good suspense. I will most definitely be adding the other Murderbot books to my TBR pile.

I do not remember how I feel about this

I read this a couple weeks ago and could tell you approximately nothing about the plot! I remember having a nice time reading it? It's short, which is to its credit. There is some stuff about untrustworthy corporations, and the main character is a robot whose robot-ness seems to be a metaphor for neurodivergence of some kind? I don't know. It never really came together but also, hey, it was short.

This was nice. Extremely pulp, but managed to get at some larger ideas.
