All Systems Red is about a rogue AI security bot that protects a team of scientists on a distant planet when a neighbouring mission goes dark. The AI bot is a hilariously realistic, unmotivated employee, and its characterization is consistent and fulsome. The dynamic between the bot and the crew is nicely developed. The plot is engaging. This is a quick, fun read.
