Summary

The highly anticipated sequel to Audible's Best of 2016 - Science Fiction winner, We Are Legion (We Are Bob); a book listeners are calling "so much fun", "what science fiction was meant to be", and what would happen if "Andy Weir and Ernest Cline had a lovechild".

Bob Johansson didn't believe in an afterlife, so waking up after being killed in a car accident was a shock. To add to the surprise, he is now a sentient computer and the controlling intelligence for a Von Neumann probe.

Bob and his copies have been spreading out from Earth for 40 years now, looking for habitable planets. But that's the only part of the plan that's still in one piece. A system-wide war has killed off 99.9 percent of the human race; nuclear winter is slowly making the Earth uninhabitable; a radical group wants to finish the job on the remnants of humanity; the Brazilian space probes are still out there, still trying to blow up the competition; and the Bobs have discovered a spacefaring species that sees all other life as food.

Bob left Earth anticipating a life of exploration and blissful solitude. Instead he's become a sky god to a primitive native species, the only hope for getting humanity to a new home, and possibly the only thing that can prevent every living thing in the local sphere from ending up as dinner.

Listener favorite Ray Porter returns to narrate Bob - and his many incarnations - in all of their geeky glory.

For We Are Many is the second installment in the blockbuster Audible Original Bobiverse series - which has sold more than one million copies.

Good follow up. Had to pay close attention so I didn't get lost in who we were following and who all the new players in the story were. Think I will have to give it a second listen just to make sure I know what is going on everywhere and on what time scale.

My only issue is why there are so many spliced in pieces of audio that sound nothing like the original recording. It's very distracting when suddenly you're hit with audio that is so different from what you're used to hearing. Did the story get changed? Was the original recording not up to scratch? Who knows but it bothered me and that's the only reason I marked it down.

If you loved the first book you will enjoy this second book.

That audio though....

The writing of multiple personalties of the same person with witty banter and that failure does exist even for AI is a great accomplishment in this book. The narrator read well and I look forward to the next book.

Who would have thunk an AI would make a good story

Loved the second book in this series, it's such a great concept and really exciting to see what species are found or where the Bob's get to. Can wait to listen to the next one!

Another great story

A good story , but it stars getting confusing with so many Bobs. The performance was too m notch.

Not as good as the first one

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
