We Are Legion (We Are Bob) (Bobiverse Book 1)

Product Information

I had three issues that bothered me. Was I conscious? Could I actually consider myself to be alive? And was I still Bob? Philosophers had been going on and on about this type of thing for centuries, but now, for me, it was personal. A human, regardless of their opinion on the subject, could depend on being a human. The minister’s offhand reference to me as ‘it’ and ‘replicant’ had stung at a level I was just now starting to appreciate.” Brain Uploading: A living brain is destructively scanned, where it can be uploaded to a replicant core and activated. While the original is dead, the copy can be copied infinitely, and most nations on Earth use these copies to run important but boring tasks that are beyond lower-level AIs.

Um. Ways in which a sentence beginning with the word "missiles" could be a good thing... Nope. I got nuthin'.” Taylor, Dennis E. (2020-04-21). "The release date for Heaven's River on Audible has been set for September 24th". @Dennis_E_Taylor . Retrieved 2020-05-30. The last time I got this excited about a series was when I read Old Man's War by John Scalzi. Fortunately at that time there already was a second book out so i could dive into the next part of the series. This time I will have to be patient and wait for the second book. Bob Johansson, affectionately referred to as Bob, used to be an engineer in 21st century. He signed up to have his head preserved cryogenically upon his death just for future resuscitation to a new body. However, in a strange and ironic twist of fate, he died in less than 24 hours after doing so. He woke up a century later only to find out that his new body was in form of a type of computer program. Bob Johansson had become a replicant. Bob’s mission was becoming an artificial intelligence manning interstellar probe for searching for habitable planets. It later turns out that The USA wasn’t the only nation that was planning to lay claims as being the first nation to seek out the new worlds.

Taylor's "Bobiverse" series explore how technologies like cryonics, mind uploading and artificial intelligence might change the society and the human condition. [7] [8] Another major topic is global catastrophic risk, which is also featured in Outland and The Singularity Trap. [9] [10] Strike on 82 Eridani takes place with Loki leading, Bobs claim system, discover 2 habitable planets and 1 moon Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know! Howard discovers life in atmosphere of a gas giant at HIP 14101, brings Bridget into his VR using VR gear This is an easy science fiction listen and a perfect choice to those who begin their journey into science fiction reading escapism or those who simply want to relax with a good book.

The man in charge of training Bob and ensuring the success of the project as a whole. He is friendly and amenable, and acts much like how Bob would expect someone from the 21st-century to act. Taylor lives near Vancouver, Canada with his wife and daughter. He enjoys snowboarding and mountain biking when he isn't writing or traveling.

The Knights Who Say "Squee!": He jumps at the opportunity to go to the Vulcan home star. When he discovers twin worlds, he immediately names them Vulcan and Romulus.

A young Deltan that displays an abnormally high intelligence compared to his peers. Ends up being mentored and befriended by Bob to aid the Deltan society. This book is a marvelous exercise in hard sci-fi—Mr. Taylor clearly did his research on every aspect, from space stations to interstellar travel to artificial intelligences. The Bobs make a few derisive references to “hand-waving about nanomachines” in sci-fi, which made me smile since I have been guilty of just that. While obviously any science-fiction work is bound to have some unexplained elements—it has to, otherwise it wouldn’t be fiction—the amount of research and scientific knowledge that went into We Are Legion is impressive. Oh, Crap!: Has this reaction when he realizes that Riker knows where he is and is about to drop a buster on him.Bob becomes one of the first drones to be sent off to the stars with the ability to self-replicate. Having long since circumvented the safeguards put in place to keep him obedient, he becomes something more than just a computer intelligence...

Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of leisure. There are places to go, books to read, and movies to watch. So it’s a little unfair when he gets himself killed crossing the street.
