Description
All Systems Red by Martha Wells is the first novella in the award-winning Murderbot Diaries series, blending science fiction, action, and dry humor into a fast-paced adventure. The story is told from the perspective of a self-aware security android—nicknamed “Murderbot”—who has hacked its own governor module, granting it free will. Instead of going on a violent rampage, Murderbot mostly wants to be left alone to watch soap operas, but its assigned mission to protect a group of scientists on a distant planet becomes dangerously complicated when sabotage and deadly threats emerge. Wells combines sharp worldbuilding with a deeply relatable, sarcastic protagonist, exploring themes of autonomy, identity, and what it means to be human (or not quite human). Short, witty, and packed with tension, All Systems Red is a perfect entry point for readers new to sci-fi or those looking for a smart, character-driven story.
