“I love the Bobiverse! Some of the best sci-fi out there. These novels have everything but

Project Hail Mary Featuring stenciled edges original art for the front and back endpapers
and a new cover. The book that launched a thousand Bobs and the first novel in the
Bobiverse series from Dennis E. Taylor part space adventure part philosophical voyage We Are
Legion (We Are Bob) is a captivating and hilarious exploration of the joys and dangers of
artificial intelligence the wonders of space and everything that may await us out there .
Welcome to the Bobiverse. We are Bob. We are legion. And we never intended on this. Bob
Johansson had a plan. After selling his software business a leisurely retirement awaited him.
And if the cryogenic lab freezing his head succeeds an even longer retirement in the distant
future when his corpsicle gets reawakened. Everything was looking up for Bob. That is until
he’s killed crossing the street just moments after signing the papers. A century later Bob
wakes up not in a utopia but an Earth on the precipice of war. America is run by an extremist
government that stripped his rights as a frozen head uploaded his consciousness into an AI
and selected him to search space for habitable planets as a self-replicating von Neumann probe.
It’s not ideal but if he declines he’ll be switched off for good. With Earth in turmoil
space may actually be the safest place for Bob. But the government failed to mention that he
isn’t alone...at least three other countries are looking to claim the next Earth and they play
dirty. Using his new abilities and the von Neuman technology he does what any engineer would
do: He makes more Bobs—and a virtual cat—and sets to save humanity before it’s too late.
