mouse reviewed All Systems Red by Martha Wells (The Murderbot Diaries, #1)
what a fun little read
it's hard to pull off a sardonic robot protagonist, and I think this did it
All Systems Red

(1 review)
The series is about an artificial construct designed as a Security Unit, which manages to override its governor unit, thus enabling it to develop independence. It calls itself Murderbot, and likes to watch unrealistic soap operas. As it spends more time with some caring humans, it starts developing feelings that it does not care for.
