Of course, it’s not a binary decision, but it has parallels to innumerable other situations. To tread lightly, the Bobs constantly must decide between helping the humans with their latest crisis and heading out to explore the galaxy. I also appreciated the constant struggle throughout the series between the issues in front of you and other goals. The book really resonated as I could recognize myself in Bob and his clones. The book is tons of fun even when it ponders philosophical questions. The tone is witty, thoughtful and introspective. He is woken up a century later, but he’s been turn into AI with the objective of turning him into a von Neumann probe.įrom his travails on earth to his exploration of the universe and shepherd of human life, the story is well told, well-plotted, fast paced and fascinating. He dies shortly thereafter in a traffic accident. The series centers on Bob, a nerdy successful tech entrepreneur who signs a contract to cryo-store his head in the event of his death. The Bobiverse series is an innovative take on the genre. After my strong recommendations for Ready Player One, Star Force and Old Man’s War, it’s probably obvious to most than I am a big fan of sci fi and of space operas in general.
