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.

Felt like I arrived in the middle of a conversation but eventually caught up. Looking forward to future adventures.

The books in this series are only 175 or so pages but are full price. I liked the book, but I won’t pay for subsequent editions.

Enjoyed the first installment of this series - reading them all before the AppleTV+ launch. A short read, and found it interesting. Robot with emotional twists and adaptations. Blend of Star Trek’s Data and Rogue One’s K-2SO, I think…. Look forward to seeing what Apple has in store for this one.

I wanna point out that this is one of the best books series. I’ve read in a long time. That being said, I would warn anyone before downloading this. I have no idea what they were thinking when they chose this narrator for this book. I couldn’t stomach my way through a single chapter. Honestly, an AI narrator would’ve been better, which I never thought I would say.

I thought the story (short as it is) was pretty good. The main character has humor and wit. There’s some fun action that’s expected in a sci-fi book. My only criticism is it’s really short and if I had paid the $11.99 I would’ve been dissatisfied
