A consciousness is uploaded as software and creates copies of itself to explore distant star systems over centuries. Taylor's novel became a cult favorite by combining hard science fiction concepts with humor and existential questions, showing how digital consciousness fragments into distinct personalities while remaining fundamentally connected through shared identity and purpose.
What readers sayAbout We Are Legion (We Are Bob).
The different Bobs developing separate personalities while being the same guy was hilarious. Each chose wildly different paths.
Loved how they debated philosophy between star jumps. Mixed genuine space opera with identity questions perfectly.
The interstellar travel scenarios blew my mind wide open. Made me completely rethink what identity means.
Fun premise and clever dialogue kept me entertained. But the final act felt rushed and underexplored.
Couldn't stop laughing at the Bob conversations. Technical space travel details actually held up scientifically.
