Publisher's Summary
All Systems Red is the tense first science fiction adventure novella in Martha Wells' series The Murderbot Diaries. For fans of Westworld, Ex Machina, Ann Leckie's Imperial Raadch series, or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels.
All Systems Red tackles questions of the ethics of sentient robotics. The main character is a deadly security droid that has bucked its restrictive programming and is balanced between contemplative self-discovery and an idle instinct to kill all humans.
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.

What a banger!!
It's short, packed full of suspense and very imaginative with the use of it's sci fi setting.
Murderbot and the whole crew is very likable.
It ends a little abruptly but that just means it doesn't drag on and dilute the great sense of adventure.
A great way to spend 3-4 hours. I loved it!!

My favourite sci-fi novel yet
I haven't read much sci-fi, but this is my favourite one yet. The messy and conflicting emotions of a cyborg who's clearly a person but denies their own personhood made me really sad.

Entertaining sci-fi novella
The protagonist is called murderbot and it's job is to protect survey teams who are visiting a new planet. But actually it prefers watching TV series that it has illegally downloaded by hacking into its own control system!!
The premise sounds intersting and the execution results in a short, entertaining sci-fi novella.
I could complete the audiobook in a stretch on a holiday morning at 1.5x speed.
The next books in the series also have good reviews and somehow all are included in the audible plus membership :)
So looking forward to next books.

World building was too complex and unnecessary
For such a short sci-fi novella, the new terminologies and world building was, I feel, too complex and unnecessary. It's bite sized, like a Black Mirror episode.
MurderBot (of what I could gather is a robot who is sentient, has some organic parts & built-in weapons & armor) is on contract with humans on an unfamiliar planet. It's job is to protect them and support them in their survey. But someone or something is sabotaging them and they must find out soon before disaster strikes.
The soap-show loving side of it reminded me of The Martian. The sentient part of it reminded me of I, Robot. And one scene reminded me of "They don't know that we know that they know!"
