All Systems Red

I appreciated how short of a read it was (I think I finished the whole book in two hours) but still enough to get me invested in the story.

It was a good little story for what it was. Obviously I can’t compare it to a larger sci-fi novel because that’s not what it aims to be. It reminded me a lot of Hugh Howey’s novels like Wool and Sand and how they were originally released as a series of novellas. I think this book is better however in that it contains a whole story. While the ending definitely leaves it open for more, I don’t feel required to read the next book to get the whole story.

It reminded me also of Klara and the Sun, making me think about what it means to be human, and the feelings of artificial intelligence.
