All Systems Red is a 2017 science fiction novella by American author Martha Wells. The first in a series called The Murderbot Diaries, it was published by Tor.com. The series is about an artificial construct designed as a Security Unit, which manages to override its governor unit, thus enabling it to develop independence. It calls itself Murderbot, and likes to watch unrealistic soap operas. As it spends more time with some caring humans, it starts developing feelings that it does not care for.

Bonne découverte

J'ai commencé par la série #Apple avant de découvrir le livre... On sent bien la différence. Le livre est court et se lit vite, et pose les bases d'un univers intéressant, posant plus de questions que de réponses. On verra les tomes suivants !

En revanche, la traduction... Avec des "iel" à toutes les sauces, je hais cette mode. Dans mon dictionnaire français, il existe "il", "elle", et pour les objets, il existe "ça". Ce style de traduction n'est spécifié nulle part. Si j'avais su, j'aurais pris la VO. J'ai les yeux qui saignent à chaque fois que je tombe dessus, avec une très forte envie de le corriger... Pourquoi ne pas faire une édition "vieux cons" et une édition "jeunes woke avec orthographe 90 en prime", afin que chacun ait ce qui lui convient ?

Bref: - le livre: 4/5 - la traduction, 2/5.

Note totale, …

Un constructo, una tripulación y lo que hace el aburrimiento

Después de tres años lo he releído (a causa de que la serie de Apple TV+ basada en la novela va a salir en breves) y lo he entendido mucho mejor y me ha gustado muchísimo más. ¿Será cosa de que mi nivel de inglés ha subido o de que he entendido mejor de qué iba la vaina? Ni idea, pero el resultado es que esta novelita corta, entretenida y con une protagoniste más que especial se hace un huequecito.

Como siempre, la culpa de todo es del capitalismo. Incluso el del futuro.

Strong but not deep

This book (and series) is about its protagonist, who is a joy to listen to. It's also fun to hear about the stuff it gets up to with technology. There are action scenes at the appropriate places to be exciting. I wouldn't go expecting a thematic interrogation of some idea though — the plot moves quickly and breaks things.

a classic

i haven't read this in 4 or 5 years, and i forgot how much fun this book is. the semi-bittersweet ending is moderated by the fact that i know there's like 7 more volumes, and i am sorely tempted to speed through them ahead of book club schedule. (^_^)

Review of 'All Systems Red' on 'Storygraph'

Murderbot has hacked himself out of main control.

The idea of an android, part bot with lingering organics, gives rise to ideas of a machine that sometimes feels human, a very introverted and relatable human; with its increasing independency situations develop more unexpectedly than what I anticipated, and that kept me reading the whole book almost in one sitting.

The secondary characters add enough depth to the story and help the development of Murderbot throughout it, queer characters are also a welcomed presence.

It was a very fun and fast read 😁

Review of 'All Systems Red' on 'Storygraph'

It’s rare to find a compelling sci-fi book that also has a hefty helping of humor and sarcasm baked into its tone. I will definitely be reading more of this series.
