A review by galacticvampire
All Systems Red by Martha Wells
funny
lighthearted
4.5
Thank god this is a series because I'm already craving much more!
This novella is a quick and charming introduction to this world, from the corporate-controlled space exploration to the philosophical question of what constitues a person.
The star of the show is obviously, Murderbot who is a big MOOD. It just wants to be left alone to watch his blorbos and is NOT ashamed to half-ass his job to get to that. Absolutely hilarious.
While the story holds a very lighthearted tone throughout, you can really feel the care Martha Wells put into portraying themes of humanity, relationships, compassion and autonomy.
