Publisher's Summary

There's a reason We Are Legion (We Are Bob) was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself. Bob and his clones are on a mission to find new homes for humanity and boldly go where no Bob has gone before.

Dennis E. Taylor’s hilarious novel sets the stage for the magnificent performance of Ray Porter, who revels in the brave new world of corpsicles, artificial intelligence, interstellar space probes, and space colonization in tantalizing detail.

We Are Legion (We Are Bob) is the first installment in the blockbuster Audible Original Bobiverse series - which has sold more than one million copies.

A good sci-fi Space Opera

I went into this book with a bit of hesitation but within the first 10 minutes or so I was completely taken. I won't spoil anything here. The 10 hour audiobook flows very fast. I didn't find any dull or dragging part. it was a very interesting listen. on to the next book...

Narration was AMAZING

Picked this up because I was so impressed by Ray Porter's narration of Project Hail Mary and was not disappointed. A fun futuristic space adventure.

Bobiverse is awesome!!

The premise was awesome, i was half expecting it will fall off the cliff but it didn't. by the book ended there is so much happening - intergalactic exploration, star wars, first contact, post apolapytic survival and lot of other things. it's like lot of sci-fi combined into one book, still very enjoyable.

Only thing I didn't like, as Bob multiplies across universe, way too many characters getting introduced and names keep getting ridiculous. The audiobook narration was awesome though, want to get started with the second one right after :)

Brilliant, for sci-fi fans by a sci-fi fan

Gripping, genius and believable. Finished the entire book in 3 sittings and now I'm totally invested in the bobiverse. The best part of it was, being a sci -fi fan and a tech nerd, I or anyone reading this book would have also thought in the same way Bob thinks, and it's nice to imagine that those analytical nerd skills that made us different will be what saves humanity.
P.S. too many Star Trek references get a bit boring by the end.

Wonderfully quirky

A great concept with an engaging story. Nicely brought to life by the narrator.

Enjoyed it and will listen to rest of the books in the series.

wow!

I have been craving to read a book which showed early colonization days without many aliens and politics.
I was feeling a void after Asimov's Foundation, but Bob fillled the void....

Amazing narration as well.

if you are a sci fi fan, DO NOT miss this one!

Awesome novel with awesome narration

As you navigate through the pages you could imagine a potential possible future path Humanity would take. All the human elements are still kept intact even after the technology advancements. A great read and looking forward for the next in the sequence
