Publisher’s Summary
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.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Fantastic Sci-fi with very unique plot!”
This is a really good sci-fi book. It is not the normal genre for me but I found this while browsing and with an average rating of 4.5 with over 36K ratings I had to give it a try. I am so glad I did. I’ve just finished this book and already know what my next purchase will be: book 2! <br/>This author has a really good writing style. There is a super story with a brilliantly unique plot. I think between the book’s synopsis and all the other reviews I don’t need to restate what this book is about. The writer incorporates a good amount of humor and sarcasm and a few times I actually found myself laughing out loud. <br/>Ray Porter’s narration is the best. He was perfect for this book. <br/>This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!<br/>If you found this review helpful please indicate so. <br/>Thank You. <br/>— shelley, Audible listener
