All Systems Red

I read this book because a friend was telling me about it. He basically described it asa robot gains sentience and is socially awkward, which is an amazing premise. I expressed interest in borrowing it, he happened to have it on him, and shoved it into my hands. A short 144 pages, it was a quick and easy read that had I had a whole day I could have easily finished it within an hour or two.

I would give this a weak 4.5, solid 4 out of 5.

Now, you are not going to be blown away by prose, but it kind of works since the robot is the narrator and it often states how much it doesn't care and so why would it take these overly wordy observations. It had some moments that made me chuckle out loud.

Basically, if you're into science fiction, if you're into funny premises concerning robots, I do recommend this book.
