Coming to Apple TV+!

A murderous android discovers itself in All Systems Red, a tense science fiction adventure by Martha Wells that interrogates the roots of consciousness through Artificial Intelligence.


"As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure."

In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.

But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern.

On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.

But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.

Pretty good

I thought the story (short as it is) was pretty good. The main character has humor and wit. There’s some fun action that’s expected in a sci-fi book. My only criticism is it’s really short and if I had paid the $11.99 I would’ve been dissatisfied

I expected more...

Don't expect any real character development. I felt as though it was rushed through and the writer then had to explain the missing information away. By using her character as a scapegoat, Murderbot has a nonchalant attitude and doesn't care, we're expected not to ask too many questions. Also known as the author was too lazy to write it out or give it much thought and expected the reader to "just deal with it." However, it's a nice spin on ideas and thoughts we already know to be tried and true.

RealGirlTalk ,

Book is great… narrator not so much.

I wanna point out that this is one of the best books series. I’ve read in a long time. That being said, I would warn anyone before downloading this. I have no idea what they were thinking when they chose this narrator for this book. I couldn’t stomach my way through a single chapter. Honestly, an AI narrator would’ve been better, which I never thought I would say.
