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

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!

Instantly Hooked!

This voice actor is simply superb. I would listen to other audiobooks, no matter the subject, as long as they were voiced by this guy.

The story itself is fairly interesting and pretty unique. It was a bit hard to follow the constantly changing narrators, and it does end rather abruptly - clearly a bait to continue reading the series. But other than that, an enjoyable and somewhat educational "read". I will have to check out the next book in the series for sure.

Best voice acting I'd ever heard

Highly recommend this title. It is sort of hard sci-fi with a little bit of space opera. The story is excellent and lends itself very well to being a trilogy. The performance by the narrator is also excellent. Altogether a great listen.

Will this really happen ? Is it possible that our brains/consciousness would evolve into an AI. Entertaining and loved “Bob”. Good thing for the world that he is fundamental a good guy. Read and enjoy.
