For the first time in hardcover, Martha Wells' award-winning, New York Times bestselling All Systems Red Winner: 2018 Hugo Award for Best Novella Winner: 2017 Nebula Award for Best Novella Winner: 2018 Alex Award One of the Verge's Best Books of 2017 "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 (and to watch its favorite show in its downtime.) But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.

An absolutely phenomenal, touching tiny little story about an AI (kinda, it's built partially using cloned human bits) gaining free agency and grappling with the anxieties of its interactions with the humans its meant to serve and protect. This anxiety being caused by the fact that, well, he's not supposed to have that free agency. It's great, I loved it and seriously had no major complaints. The characters are all as well-constructed as they need to be for the story and setting. The social anxieties Murderbot feels are well-described and easily sympathized with throughout. I felt a very vivid tinge of suspense at a couple scenes from the delivery as well! The only real complaint I had was the lack of description into the fauna on the planet, nearly everything is described using words like "insects", "avians", or "reptiles." Making you think this planet has nearly the same fauna as Earth, which is hard to believe. This could have been done in a lot more fascinating a way, but was easily looked over. Overall, All Systems Red is honestly one of the best reads I've had this year. Even if you don't end up agreeing with me... come on, look at how tiny it is and just give it a go.

Fantastic!
This was an incredible story, thrilling and so very human (even though we're seeing everything through the eyes of something that's not totally human). I freaking loved Murderbot, of course, but the secondary characters were fantastic too. I cannot recommend this book and series enough! If you love sci-fi (or even if you don't), pick this one up!
