Showing results for "The Bob Book" in Hard Science Fiction

There's a reason We Are Legion 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.

C'è una buona ragione se nel 2016 "Noi Siamo Infinito (Noi Siamo Bob)" è stato nominato miglior titolo di fantascienza di Audible, ed è per la sua irresistibile sagacia e i toni irriverenti. Bob Johansson ha appena guadagnato una piccola fortuna dalla vendita della sua azienda di software e non vede l'ora di godersi la sua nuova vita all'insegna dell'agio. E il primo punto della sua lista di cose da fare è proprio iniziare a sperperare quel bendidio. Trascinato dal desiderio di spendere e spandere, acconsente a far conservare criogenicamente la sua testa in caso di morte.
