Alex reviewed All Systems Red by Martha Wells (The Murderbot Diaries, #1)
"As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure."
In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, …
Bot wants to be left alone...
5 stars
... But is forced to prove for and earn for it's own existence, despite it's anthropophobia.
I think the author dedicated the murderbot's whole personality to autism, or at least autistic traits in generall, and then gleefully showed it into a hostile adventure. This results in an awkward, yet oddly funny story about someone who just wants to earn their upkeep and then go do their own thing in their free time, being highly relatable to any other human worker.
