review:
'All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries #1)' by Martha Wells is about a security robot that is self-aware and what that might mean.

A group of scientists on a distant planet are sponsored by a corporation. That sponsorship means they have a company supplied security robot with them. What they initially don't know is that this robot has hacked it's governor module and is now autonomous. She is also part human, and would prefer to be left alone with her collection of media to watch.

When a neighboring science team sends out a distress call, they come to an uneasy truce with their security bot to help uncover the danger that is heading there way.

The story is told from the robot's perspective and is told with some humor and charm. I read this one because I got a review copy of the 2nd novella. I'm looking forward to more entries in this series with this pretty likeable character.
