All Systems Red

An Artificial Intelligence breaking its programming and going rogue whilst all the time continuing to do the job it was intended to in the first place... It doesn't sound like a particularly compelling storyline, but once you read through the first paragraph you are sucked into a story told by Murderbot, an AI trying to just get on with his life.

I could tell from their expressions they were all thinking hard. The HubSystem that controlled their habitat, that they were dependent on for food, shelter, filtered air, and water, was trying to kill them. And in their corner all they had was Murderbot, who just wanted everyone to shut up and leave it alone so it could watch the entertainment feed all day.

This book had me sucked in from the first page, there was enough character development of the secondary characters to allow me to follow the story whilst only needing to know enough to not dilute the story of Murderbot.

All in all, I would recommend that anyone with an interest in Sci-fi to read this book, looking forward to continuing the series!
