Dennis E. Taylor is creating some of the best science fiction in recent times – his Bobiverse is outstanding.I gave his premier book in the series – We Are Legion – a five star and the second in the series, first published in 2017, is almost as good.Why the gushing praise? I said it in my review of We are Legion, this is what SF should be – tight prose detailing hard science principles and telling a fun story. Taylor mixes in enough pop culture references and nerdy snark to keep any self-respect...
First, a recap of part one is in my review here.I enjoyed the first part of this series, but part two was a bit of a letdown. The main character "Bob" and all his AI clones (which are all inexact variations of his core personality) have become a little too annoying for me. I mean, who is this book for? It's not a young adult book. But the man (lol, he's an artificial intelligence based on a human template with emotions) has to deal with apocalyptic destruction, species-wide genocide and personal...
This entry in the three-book series is less of a romp than the first because, of course, because the territory is no longer new or fresh; but it's still a hoot and a holler. I had such a great time going back to the Bobiverse! These books are a pleasure to me because their humor resonates with me:At times like this, I wondered if I hadn’t gone a little overboard with the level of detail in my virtual-reality environment. There was no reason for me to even have nether regions, let alone for them
I love reading great SF, but sometimes we just stumble across a novel or two that just make us beam with wonder and shared nerdiness and delight... and that basically describes these two Bob novels.The scale is particularly delightful. You've gotta love a snarky nerd engineer-turned-AI distributed over 30 light years who's wondering what the hell the humans are doing. I mean, he's pretty well-adjusted, copying bits of himself into new iterations and letting them rename themselves as cultural ner...
Let me begin by saying that I FINISHED FIRST! Yep, this was a buddy-read with (amongst others) Brad and I FINISHED FIRST.Ironically, this goofy reaction is exactly something one of the Bobs would have done too (so yes, it fits the theme).This is the second book in the Bobiverse series and it was wonderful again. Sure, some say that it's a bit slow because of the science and exploration and different locations, but that is exactly what I love (apart from the fantastic narrator, Ray Porter, in the...
2.5 Stars:✰✰½ If you have an Audible account, you have heard of these books. Actually.... if you have an AMAZON account, period, you've probably seen these books on display somewhere in the emails or ads on amazon. Because for one reason or another, they literally advertise these books up the butt.I did a quick search in my gmail inbox to see how many emails they have sent me about this series - and whether it was through direct or indirect advertising, I have received about 24 emails from Au
If you liked the first Bobiverse book, We Are Legion, this is pretty much more of the same thing. And after a bit of a bumpy start, I really did have a good ride with it ... enough that I immediately bought the third book. Got to see what happens with the Others, aka The Worst Space Aliens Ever!RTC.
Looking for a rollicking good well-written self-published space adventure with meaningful character arcs and a gripping narrative? Well, keep looking! This is an unholy mess. It reads like something that might result if Science Magazine somehow got into the catnip, hopped the fence and impregnated John Scalzi’s blog. The plot is a continuation of the first book in the series, about sentient self-replicating Von Neumann probes whose annoying personalities are formed from an equal mix of high tech...
Away from the only, poor single, Bob technobabble focus towards more characterizations, interactions with real humans, implications, and open questions about consciousness, love, and immortality with a little portion of apocalypse and space warfare. Do you wanna live foreverAs soon as it´s technically possible, a Bob simply cannot die, except she/he is so lazy to keep no backups and have an adrenaline junkie problem at the same time, although there is nobody anymore and the reactions have to be
I seriously cannot get enough of the Bobiverse! This series is perfect for us sci-fi nerds. And the icing on the cake? The performance of Ray Porter in the audiobook! In book 2, we have so many Bobs that I've pretty much lost track. But it doesn't matter. Each of them have their own little quirks and I'm enamored with them all. The Bobs are now spread out over 40 light years throughout the universe and have discovered several viable planets for colonization as Earth is no longer habitable. Among...
FOR WE ARE MANY (Bobiverse #2), in my opinion was even better than the first book and Ray Porter plays a large part in that. For those who don't know, in the first book the first Bob had his head frozen and he was woken up many, many years later having had his consciousness installed in an AI. Since then, many things have happened, and Bob has created many clones of himself, as he was designed to do. His, (their), goal is to save humanity, (we are killing our planet and there are only about 15 m...
