Review of 'All Systems Red' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Way too short! I need more Murderbot!
"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.
Way too short! I need more Murderbot!
This book is about a security bot at a habit for a research mission to another planet.
It's amazing.
I dived into a coffee shop this morning because I couldn't put it down. I want more but the ending was so good.
