We Are Legion (We Are Bob) – A Clever and Fun Take on AI and Space Exploration

We Are Legion (We Are Bob) is one of the most entertaining sci-fi books I’ve listened to. It takes a fresh approach to AI, space exploration, and problem-solving, all wrapped in a story filled with humor and great characters.

The story follows Bob, a software engineer who unexpectedly becomes an AI after signing up for a cryonics program. What follows is a journey across the stars as Bob (and his many versions) explores, adapts, and faces challenges that range from survival to interstellar politics. The book has a great mix of humor and tension, keeping things light while still delivering an engaging story.

The narration by Ray Porter adds so much personality to the experience. He brings the different versions of Bob to life, making each one feel distinct. The humor, the tech talk, and the moral dilemmas all come together in a way that kept me hooked from start to finish.

If you enjoy sci-fi with a mix of intelligence, wit, and adventure, this is definitely one to check out. I’ll be continuing the series for sure.
