Book Review of The Murderbot Diaries #1 - All Systems Red

"I don’t know what I want. But it isn’t that, it’s that I don’t want anyone to tell me what I want, or to make decisions for me."

Humanoid robots becoming self-aware and fully sentient isn't a new trope anymore. In fact, it wasn't a new idea even back in 2017 when this book was first published. Still, the first book in the Murderbot Diaries, "All Systems Red" is a fun, entertaining and a quick read. This isn't necessarily just a popcorn Sci-Fi - the world building is intriguing, and it is nice to read the story from the first-person view of the protagonist who is a sentry robot that has just become self-aware. Give it a go, 4/5.
