Qual é a primeira coisa que lhe vem à cabeça quando você pensa em um robô humanoide que hackeia o próprio sistema e conquista autonomia? Um banho de sangue? Bem, o autointitulado robô-assassino de Alerta vermelho tem outras prioridades... Mais especificamente, maratonar milhares de horas de conteúdo audiovisual em seu feed de entretenimento. Isso, é claro, se os humanos deixarem.

Porém, ao ser enviado como parte de uma expedição a um planeta remoto ― até mesmo um robô precisa trabalhar ―, uma série de eventos misteriosos coloca em risco os humanos que ele foi designado a proteger. Mesmo sem entender muito bem o motivo, ele agora se importa de verdade com a segurança daquele grupo irritante ― e ninguém vai tocar nos humanos dele. O robô vai se certificar disso.

what a fun little read

No rating

it's hard to pull off a sardonic robot protagonist, and I think this did it

Fun short novel with a strong voice

4 stars

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'

5 stars

A fun, quick sci-fi read.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. The idea is simple enough. "Murderbots" are engineered constructs comprised of biological and mechanical components. They're created to kill things and follow orders but are capable of more under certain circumstances, such as those created via a hacked or malfunctioning "governing module." This is the story of one such entity, caught up in an unusual scenario when a "simple planetary survey mission" goes sideways. It's a solid read and works, both as a standalone and as the setup for the "Murderbot Diaries" series it kicks off. Highly recommended for those seeking a fast-paced, charming, and generally-lighthearted (despite a few somewhat-grim moments) introduction to modern science fiction but veterans of the genre will likely find a lot to enjoy as well.

Love a grumpy MC

5 stars

Murderbot is the grumpy, reclusive, crunchy outer shell with a golden marshmallow heart MC I've always dreamed of.

A group of scientists is exploring a planet and they have a security bot to keep them safe. However, said bot is more of a free agent than they supposed as it hacked its own module. This gives it more time to do what it enjoys: watching series. That is, until its crew gets into trouble.

I wa surprised by this book. It's shorter than it should be, there's some great and very quotable sentenced and I can't wait to read the next! I hope we get to learn more about Mensah eventually.
