Have you read All Systems Red? What did you think? Let us know!


Michelle Morrell (vylotte) | 35 comments Just finished it, my first of this year's nominees. It's small but it packs a punch.

I wrote in my review: A quick little read about a murderbot and the humans it's decided to protect. As with any good scifi story, one little adventure touches on far more than just entertainment. We get to ponder humanity, sentience, free will. Plus, Murderbot rocks.

A quick and very enjoyable read about a cranky, antisocial security android who just wants to watch their shows, but has all these annoying humans to take care of. Quick moving and darkly humorous, it felt like a SFictional take on the autism spectrum (said as a neurotypical who is entirely guessing, and could be far off base with that).


Michelle Morrell (vylotte) | 35 comments I just saw this over on Tor: "Murderbot's back! After Artificial Condition (out this May) and Rogue Protocol (out in August), Murderbot's final adventure will be Exit Strategy, available worldwide in print and ebook in October."

Nice! Speedy little murderbot!


Shelley George | 23 comments Yes, short book but big impact. What you all said. I love Murderbot. I have pre-ordered the rest of the series. Can't wait.
