Series: Bobiverse

The second installment in Dennis E. Taylor’s imaginative sci-fi saga follows an AI-powered interstellar explorer as he confronts alien threats, chaotic post-apocalyptic hurdles, and the ultimate challenge of saving humanity.

Waking up after death wasn’t on Bob Johansson’s bucket list. But here he is, four decades later, inhabiting the mind of a sentient computer and piloting a self-replicating space probe. It was supposed to be a dream gig—explore the cosmos, find new worlds, repeat.

Instead, everything has gone spectacularly off-script.

Humanity is hanging by a thread after a devastating war wiped out 99.9 percent of the human race. The planet is spiraling into nuclear darkness, extremist groups are fighting over what scraps of civilization remain, and rogue Brazilian probes are doing their best to annihilate everything in their path. And the Bobs have encountered a terrifying alien species with one very straightforward view of other life forms: food.

Bob never signed up to be a hero, and he certainly didn’t expect to play God to a fledgling alien civilization. Now, he faces the ultimate question: Can a scattered army of digital copies, outnumbered and outgunned, outsmart extinction itself?

Packed with snarky humor, jaw-dropping discoveries, and a heaping dose of heart, For We Are Many continues the wildly inventive saga that redefines what it means to be human...or at least post-human. The stakes are immense, but with Bob on the job, survival might just depend on thinking way outside the box.

Reviews for For We Are Many: Bobiverse: Book 2

“By the time I finished the first Bobiverse book, I had already purchased the whole series. By the time I finished this second one, I named every fish in my tank Bob because they keep multiplying. The books keep getting better, and they stay with you long after you’re done."" -- –Matt Dinniman, New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl ""I love the Bobiverse! Some of the best sci-fi out there. These novels have everything, but most importantly Bob was there, too."" -- —Andy Weir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Project Hail Mary
