"J'aurais pu faire un carnage dès l'instant où j'ai piraté mon module superviseur ; en tout cas, si je n'avais pas découvert un accès au bouquet de chaînes de divertissement relayées par les satellites de la compagnie. 35 000 heures plus tard, aucun meurtre à signaler, mais, à vue de nez, un peu moins de 35 000 heures de films, de séries, de lectures, de jeux et de musique consommés. Comme impitoyable machine à tuer, on peut difficilement faire pire". Et quand notre androïde de sécurité met au jour un complot visant à éliminer les clients qu'il est censé protéger, il ne recule ni devant le sabotage ni devant l'assassinat ; il s'interpose même face au danger, quitte à y laisser des morceaux. Martha Wells signe avec cette série un récit tout en ironie et en sensibilité sur l'éveil à la conscience et l'exercice du libre arbitre. Traduit de l'anglais …

Review of 'All Systems Red' on 'Goodreads'

A fun, quick sci-fi read.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. The idea is simple enough. "Murderbots" are engineered constructs comprised of biological and mechanical components. They're created to kill things and follow orders but are capable of more under certain circumstances, such as those created via a hacked or malfunctioning "governing module." This is the story of one such entity, caught up in an unusual scenario when a "simple planetary survey mission" goes sideways. It's a solid read and works, both as a standalone and as the setup for the "Murderbot Diaries" series it kicks off. Highly recommended for those seeking a fast-paced, charming, and generally-lighthearted (despite a few somewhat-grim moments) introduction to modern science fiction but veterans of the genre will likely find a lot to enjoy as well.

Review of 'All systems red' on 'Goodreads'

It's good fun. Was a bit shorter than I expected so the ending felt a bit abrupt (reading it as part of a Tor ebook collection so couldn't see how long was left). Murderbot's an interesting character, and the story from their point of view is interesting, especially when there are so many hours of Sanctuary Moon left to be watched. The problem of that perspective is it makes it hard to distinguish the other characters from each other, but overall it's an enjoyable read.
