All Systems Red

When I borrowed this from the library, I had no idea it was a novella. If you're looking for a fast-paced ride with some light sci-fi... this is definitely your book. The recommendations don't lie, this is an amazing story that explores some common sci-fi tropes but isn't tired, boring, or mundane.

A security “organic robot” (for lack of a better way to explain it) that calls themselves “Murderbot” tries not to get close to humans. The contracts come in, they do their job, and watch their serial TV shows when they can. They're rogue in that they have hacked their own governor system... but that's fine.

This was another book that had me jumping up and down exploring identity and socially constructed understanding of identity and “humanity.” I enjoyed this so much I'm now looking for book 2. I don't need to read that other book I'm halfway through... right?
