What if the afterlife was less pearly gates and more… processing power? In Dennis E. Taylor's *We Are Legion (We Are Bob)*, Bob Johansson, a freshly deceased software entrepreneur, gets a rude awakening a century after his death. Instead of eternal rest, his consciousness has been uploaded, turning him into the artificial intelligence for an interstellar probe. Suddenly, Bob's post-life plan involves a high-stakes mission: scout habitable planets and secure them for his country. It's a deal with the digital devil – accept and explore the cosmos, or refuse and face permanent deletion. But the universe is far from empty, and Bob quickly discovers he's not alone in this celestial land grab. Decades into his mission, Bob and his replicated selves have ventured far beyond Earth, only to find their home planet ravaged by war. Humanity's remnants struggle to survive amidst nuclear winter and warring factions. Even as Bob battles rival probes and unknown cosmic threats light-years away, he's haunted by the fate of the world he left behind. *We Are Legion (We Are Bob)* masterfully blends hard science fiction with humor and philosophical musings. It’s a story of exploration, survival, and what it truly means to be human – even when you're a computer. If you crave a spacefaring adventure with unexpected twists and a protagonist unlike any other, prepare for a journey that will leave you pondering the boundaries of consciousness and the future of humanity.
