Martha Wells: All Systems Red (EBook, 2017, Tordotcom)

"As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure."

I had wanted to read some of the Murderbot Diaries series for a long time, but the upcoming TV show (and discussions about the casting) made me want to read it for myself. The setting and themes to me feel very camp, and I think it might be the first camp sci-fi I've knowingly read. It also feels queer-coded.

I'm a bit confused, just like Murderbot: I can't quite separate whether it's more camp or queer-coded.

In any case I really enjoyed it and hope to read subsequent books.
