Interiority Overdrive

Loved the tight little plot. A great intro to the cast of characters and conceits of the series. Murderbot's intense interiority is such a great idea. It feels in a way like an autistic insert into this interesting universe of corporations and free worlds. Despite that, the story is kept very very local and immediate-stakes, and resists explicit worldbuilding.

IMO a masterpiece.

What a Fun little Treat

"I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized I could access the combined feed of entertainment channels carried on the company satellites.[...]. As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.

That was a nice little entertainment. SecBot is a nice (but not new) mixture of laziness, virtues and superhuman skills and reminds me of Kvothe in the kingskiller chronicles. Thanks @reading tofu for the recommendation!

Fun short novel with a strong voice

It's a short novel so I can't expect much in character development outside of the main one, but that is my one critique: I'd like to know more about the other members of the crew and their situations.

But overall it was a fun listen; engaging, interesting, suspenseful.

Review of 'All systems red' on 'Goodreads'

It's good fun. Was a bit shorter than I expected so the ending felt a bit abrupt (reading it as part of a Tor ebook collection so couldn't see how long was left). Murderbot's an interesting character, and the story from their point of view is interesting, especially when there are so many hours of Sanctuary Moon left to be watched. The problem of that perspective is it makes it hard to distinguish the other characters from each other, but overall it's an enjoyable read.

Review of 'All Systems Red' on 'Goodreads'

I LOVED All Systems Red. Murderbot might be my new favorite character in all of Sci-Fi. I had to read this for my first grad school class at Emerson, and it was an overall winner. Highly recommended if you like Sci-Fi, or if you like character-driven stories that are quick-paced, with decent action and good suspense. I will most definitely be adding the other Murderbot books to my TBR pile.

a lot more fun than the cover looks

the murderbot is SNARKY. i don't have much else to say about this book other than go read it, it's good and only 150 pages long

i do have one intelligent thing to say about it which is it raises a lot of interesting ideas regarding robot ethics and i hope she goes into that more in the sequels

I do not remember how I feel about this

I read this a couple weeks ago and could tell you approximately nothing about the plot! I remember having a nice time reading it? It's short, which is to its credit. There is some stuff about untrustworthy corporations, and the main character is a robot whose robot-ness seems to be a metaphor for neurodivergence of some kind? I don't know. It never really came together but also, hey, it was short.
