“I love the Bobiverse! Some of the best sci-fi out there. These novels have everything, but most importantly Bob was there, too.” — Andy Weir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Project Hail Mary

The book that launched a thousand Bobs and the first novel in the Bobiverse series from Dennis E. Taylor, We Are Legion (We Are Bob) is part space adventure, part philosophical voyage — a captivating and hilarious exploration of the joys and dangers of artificial intelligence, the wonders of space, and everything that may await us out there.

Deluxe edition, first print only!

Welcome to the Bobiverse. We are Bob. We are legion. And we never intended on this.

Bob Johansson had a plan. After selling his software business, a leisurely retirement awaited him. And, if the cryogenic lab freezing his head succeeds, an even longer retirement in the distant future when his corpsicle gets reawakened.

Everything was looking up for Bob.

That is, until he’s killed crossing the street just moments after signing the papers.

A century later, Bob wakes up — not in a utopia, but in an Earth on the precipice of war. America is run by an extremist government that stripped his rights as a frozen head, uploaded his consciousness into an AI, and selected him to search space for habitable planets as a self-replicating von Neumann probe.

It’s not ideal, but if he declines, he’ll be switched off for good.

With Earth in turmoil, space may actually be the safest place for Bob.

But the government failed to mention that he isn’t alone… At least three other countries are looking to claim the next Earth, and they play dirty.

Using his new abilities and the von Neumann technology, he does what any engineer would do:

He makes more Bobs — and a virtual cat — and sets out to save humanity before it’s too late.
