All Systems Red is the first book in the Murderbot Diaries series, a popular science fiction series and streaming series on Apple TV.    The book won a number of awards, including the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards for best novella.  We watched the series first, then I was able to get a copy of Fugitive Telemetry from the library and thoroughly enjoyed it.   I recently read/listened to the first book in the series.    The streaming series closely follows the first book of the series, but the book fills in more details, and provides more insights into what the main characters are thinking.

The books are well-told, with fresh ideas, action, humor, irony, and suspense.    Best of all, the characters are interesting and grow as the story develops.    Murderbot is a self-aware cyborg that has hacked its own governor module and can act independently, but chooses to protect the humans around him.    It has a hard time understanding social mores and finds the interactions to be awkward.    The stories are told by Murderbot in a refreshing narrative.

Very enjoyable and recommended.    4.6 stars/5.
