I read this book a few years ago but decided to pick it back up in a plot to get my husband back on audiobooks. (We’ve been watching the series adaptation of the Murderbot diaries, which is pretty faithful to All Systems Red w/ some exceptions.)

SecUnit aka “MurderBot” is a really entertaining & relatable narrator. Technically, its job is to protect the survey team in their mission on planet exploration, but it hacked its governor module. All it wants to do now is watch media like The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon but the crew needs more support than anyone expected. This is an awesome series w/ quick reads! There are also dramatized versions of the audiobook available.
