About this listen

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.

Although the beginning is quite different to the bulk of the book and the rest of the series, this is a great kick off to the series. This seems to be a re-do of the audio by Ray Porter, fixes a couple of pronunciation errors of the previous version. Definitely a worthwhile book.

A whole new sub-genre

A new Author for me.
Absolutely loved this story, I have never read or heard anything by Dennis before, and , having a being inhabit a spacecraft is not a new concept ,I felt that Dennis' idea to include Cloning as well is genius .
I loved the random, humorous, throw away lines from the various Clones also - lots of chuckles to be had.
I highly recommend this series.

I wasn't expecting to like it that much, but it was right up my alley. It was so interesting to see what would happen with the various challenges that arose, and I was always hungry for more.

Loved it!

I recommend you read the whole series. I felt a little sad when I came to the end of the 4th book. I didn't want the story to end. The Bobiverse series is up there with the best. As good and as engaging as The Foundation Series by Asimov and The Dune Series by Herbert. Enjoy!

Up there with the best
