2018 hat All Systems Red von Martha Wells den Hugoaward als beste Novella gewonnen. Immer wieder hörte ich, wie toll die Reihe wäre und Patrick Rothfuss‘ Rezension auf Goodreads hat mir dann den endgültigen Ruck gegeben, mich dem Murderbot zu widmen:
I’ve never felt an emotional connection to the protagonist of a book like this before. I’ve never felt more of an empathetic connection to a character as strong as this before. Ever. Seriously guys. I can’t recommend this book enough. It was fun and funny. It made me laugh and it broke my heart. It is smart and quick and well-written. It’s unique in its concept and excellent in its execution. Try it. Try it. Try it. For god’s sake, just trust me and try it.
