The blurb:
On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.
That's from the blurb for All Systems Red, but this will be a read of the whole series of Murderbot books. I'll link them individually below as I read and review them; the ones still to read are:
I've linked to Compulsory because that's the only one I don't have on my e-reader. The rest all came as one big download (along with a bunch of other Martha Wells books) from Humble Bundle.
...and...
The blurb:
Rincewind, inept wizard and reluctant hero, has found himself magically stranded on the Discworld's last continent.
It's hot. It's dry. There was this thing once called The Wet, which no one believes in any more. Practically everything that's not poisonous is venomous. But it's the best bloody place in the world, all right?
And in a few days, it will die. The only thing standing between the last continent and wind-blown doom is Rincewind, and he can't even spell wizard. Still... no worries, eh?
On top of this, I've got issues of Clarkesworld, Forever and Khoreo, plus a bunch of year's best anthologies in horror and science fiction to catch up on.
