Sci-Fi & Speculative

All Systems Red

by Martha Wells · The Murderbot Diaries series

A self-aware security android who has hacked its governor module would rather watch serials than protect humans, but a survey mission goes catastrophically wrong. Wells delivers sharp, funny, deeply anxious science fiction through a narrator who understands humans better than it wants to. A genre-redefining novella about autonomy, anxiety, and reluctant heroism.
