Teaching My Cat To Read: The “very serious” Book Review Podcast
All systems Red - Local SecUnit Can’t Believe It Paused Its Shows For This
This week, we’re talking about All Systems Red by Martha Wells, the first novella in the Murderbot Diaries series-and it’s safe to say we’re officially obsessed. With a title like Murderbot, you’d expect chaos (and there’s plenty), but what really caught us is the dry humor, the unexpected heart, and one of the most relatable AI narrators we’ve ever met.
In this episode, we dive into Murderbot’s struggle with autonomy, its complicated relationship with humans, and how this quick-paced sci-fi story manages to balance action, existential questions, and awkward social interactions, all in under 150 pages.
Whether you’re new to the series or already binge-reading the sequels, come hang out as we break down what makes All Systems Red such a smart, funny, and surprisingly emotional ride through the galaxy.
