Défaillances systèmes by Martha Wells
5.0
adventurous emotional funny hopeful lighthearted reflective tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

As soon as I discovered the existence of this book, I knew it would be a favourite. A socially anxious cyborg whose sole ambition is to finish work asap so that they can watch sitcoms on their own? Yes please. All Systems Red is both deliciously funny (and queer) and emotionnally deep, when it questions what makes us human and presents a character being considered a sentient being for the first time. A new favourite, for sure.
