Description

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.

About the Performer

Listener favourite and multiple award-winning narrator Ray Porter delivers an epic performance of discom-Bob-ulation, giving voice to a parade of characters and generations of Bobs. Dennis E. Taylor raves, "Ray Porter is incredible. Honestly he made the book. If I’d been given a different narrator, I’m not sure We Are Legion would have done as well."

Didn't think I'd like it, but I loved it

The Narrator does a fantastic job. I Loved it more as the story went on.

Amazing in audio!

Superb performance gives life to each Bob. Engaging story, great if you like sci-fi! Just nerdy enough without getting on your nerves and same for the science-cy bits. It is my first audio book and I honestly did not think I would like it so much.

Highly Entertaining

This is a great book about a future dystopian Earth with lots of references to 80's sci fi TV series. I'm really looking forward the the next one.

Incredible storytelling

This novel was well written, descriptive and fascinating. A look into a scarily plausible future where artificial intelligence in a post-apocalyptic Earth leads one man on a quest to save the human race. It’s rife with intrigue, action, geeky science fiction references, humor, and it filled me with both hope and fear. I can’t wait to read the next two!

Unique and arresting.

The first book of the Bobiverse deals with the most interesting problems in the series; while the latter books seem to regard the first half of this novel as the "necessary boring part," that's the part I was most curious about. The science begins relatively hard in this novel but quickly sinks to exceptionally soft sci-fi. This is easily the best book in the series, clearly earning its 5/5 rating while the others sink slightly to a 4. We are Legion is the fastest I've ever read an audiobook, and while the sequels were devoured with similar voracity, I can't help but feel let down by what this masterpiece sets up.

Still, a marvellous series. I'll keep an eye out for Dennis Taylor's other work.

Instantly Hooked!

Within minutes I knew I was going to love this book! Dennis E. Taylor came up with a brilliant and realistic concept for a Sci-fi story line and his fun and surprising little sci-fi pop culture references made my eyes light up with surprise and a little chuckle whenever they popped up. I felt completely connected to the main character (Bob) as I travelled on his journey with him. I was hooked on this book almost immediately and enjoyed it so much I bought the entire series which I also highly recommend! Ray Porter did an incredible job of narrating and brought each character to life with their own accent and voice...he even makes a female character sound real. Dennis E. Taylor is definitely one of my new favourite sci-fi authors - can't wait to read some of his other books. This is definitely one of my favourite sci-fi audible book series and I highly recommend to all!

I tried...

I really wanted to like this book. I really tried. But it just wasn't for me. I found it ridiculous and silly. Maybe it's the genre - I'm not a sci-fi fan. But it had such high ratings!? Oh well...1 credit wasted.
