SUMMARY:🪐 Speculative Futures Reading Group: 'All Systems Red' by Martha Wells
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, August 28th at 7 p.m. we’ll meet at Iffy Books to discuss All Systems Red by Martha Wells. See you there! \nIn a corporate-dominated spacefaring future\, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids\, for their own safety. \nBut in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder\, safety isn’t a primary concern. \nOn a distant planet\, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests\, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid ― a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module\, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans\, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is. \nBut when a neighboring mission goes dark\, it’s up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.
