This surprised me with how good it was. I related to the main character a lot, considering this book is from the perspective of a robot. I was really impressed with how well we got to know all the characters in so few pages, especially considering all the action. At its heart, All Systems Red is about becoming your own person and figuring out what you want after living your whole life following what others want from you. It's also about opening up to other people for the first time. I also found Murderbot's desire to just lay around and watch tv alone all day super relatable. This novella has shown me that I need to read more sci-fi, especially as novellas.
