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.

Featured Article: The Most Stellar Sci-Fi Authors of All Time


Science fiction is a genre as diverse as you can imagine. There are stories that take place in deep space, often depicting teams exploring or running away from something; stories that focus on life at the most cellular level, such as a pandemic tale; and stories that take place in times that feel similar to our own. Depicting themes of existentialism, philosophy, hubris, and personal and historical trauma, sci-fi has a cadre of topics and moods.

So many Bobs, so little time --

If you love sci fi, you already know about this awesome book. It's a pretty original concept -- governments clone human-personality-infused-AIs and send them into space as self-replicating probes to find new planets for humans to inhabit. Some of the probes go insane, some turn into weapons of mass destruction, and some . . .

. . . well, Bob is different. A bit of an independent loaner with no political axe to grind, Bob sets about creating a 'world' HE can live in first! Still, the prime directive is all about replicating, so bring on the Bobs!

Ray Porter does an amazing job voicing the various Bobs -- and all the other characters in this book -- while the pop culture sci fi references provide opportunities for a few homages to beloved characters. The book would not have been as fun to listen to without him!

I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. FOR. BOOK TWO!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!


ALSO, ahem. Sorry. Also, here's a shout out to Jim the Impatient for the recommendation! Thanks big guy!

Great writing, interesting subject matter. It was both relaxing and thought provoking. Existential questions of the nature of man packaged in a downright entertaining story

fun and thoughtful

My library primarily consists of science fiction entries. There are normally two extremes for this category. Heavy science or heavy comedy. I believe the best books find a good balance. And even better, leave the "heavy" altogether.

(We are Bob) does this in the best way in my opinion. Nothing feels contrived, the the story play's out, you never get the sence that it's off the rails crazy. Everything moved along on a logical path, leading to yet another problem to overcome. This kind of natural progression plays out in every subplot of this story from the human Bobs circumstance, to the latest Bob's deaths. That's not to say this story is predictable. Quit a few times I was surprised by how things turned out. The author isn't afraid to make the shit hit the fan and let your favorite Bob deal with it.

All in all I would most certainly give this book a shot. Personally I could barley put it down, and I was visibly upset when someone interrupted my listening session lol. Don't let the description turn you away, I promise it'll scratch at least some of your sci-fi itches.

P.s. the Bill(Bob) is my favorite. He gets the scoop from all the other Bob's lol

One of the more entertaining sci-fi books I've listened to.

The story is smart, irreverent, and compelling. I want to hang out with Bob. To top it all off, the performance of the narrator, Ray Porter, is Oscar worthy. Dennis Taylor has taken Sci-fi into a whole new direction. Awesome!

This can't be beat!

Loved this story. Its cool, different and at times a little confusing but it will grip your attention from the start. The narration is spot on.

I listened to these books many times but in preparation for heavens river I noticed Homer's voice has been altered and its throwing me off.
is there a way to get an older version?

wtf did you go change Homer's voice for?

I realize that this book is part of a series but it almost seemed random where it stopped at. there were to many tangents in the story and no real identification as to which was the main.

That being said, I love the book and can't wait to hear the next one.

Ended with a lot of stuff unresolved.
