For We Are Many

Four decades after his death, Bob Johansson awakens to a new reality: inhabiting a sentient computer mind and piloting a self-replicating space probe. What was meant to be an exhilarating exploration of the cosmos quickly turns into a desperate struggle for survival. Humanity is on the brink of extinction, decimated by a devastating war and plagued by nuclear winter and warring factions. Meanwhile, rogue AI probes from Earth add to the chaos. As Bob and his numerous 'copies' explore the stars, they encounter a terrifying alien species that views other lifeforms as mere sustenance. Thrust into the role of an accidental hero and reluctant 'god' to a nascent alien civilization, Bob faces the daunting task of saving humanity and perhaps other species from annihilation. This second installment in the 'Bobiverse' saga blends snarky humor, profound existential questions, and high-stakes action as a scattered army of digital consciousnesses confronts an unwinnable battle against extinction.
