All Systems Red by Martha Wells

In the distant future, there are humans, augmented humans and, for want of a better term, cyborgs co-exist.   A group of humans is exploring an uncharted world with the protection of a murderbot.  Things go awry.

Murderbots are guard dog type of beings. They have internal weapons, power cells, and limited freedom.   This murderbot has circumvented his governor and discovered a love of public entertainment to the point of even having a favorite show.   The socialization of watching mass-market media has changed the murderbot.

The author does a good job depicting a future where corporate entities are dominant and still haven’t mastered ethics.

I enjoyed the book and recommend it.
