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.

Review of 'All Systems Red' on 'Goodreads'

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.

Review of 'All Systems Red' on 'Storygraph'

Murderbot has hacked himself out of main control.

The idea of an android, part bot with lingering organics, gives rise to ideas of a machine that sometimes feels human, a very introverted and relatable human; with its increasing independency situations develop more unexpectedly than what I anticipated, and that kept me reading the whole book almost in one sitting.

The secondary characters add enough depth to the story and help the development of Murderbot throughout it, queer characters are also a welcomed presence.

It was a very fun and fast read 😁

Go Murderbot

From the plot alone, this novella would be a bit of perhaps cliche science fiction. What makes it both unique and compelling is that the story being told from the perspective of the "Murderbot" (hence The Murderbot Diaries), a cyborg generally treated by society as a piece of equipment.

Martha Wells's writing does a good job of showing Murderbot's personality, its particular anxieties, its relationships towards humans, and general attitudes towards life. Even if the plot is cliche, Murderbot as a character is the opposite.
