What If You Were the AI Tasked with Saving Humanity?


Sci-Fi Book Pod

Episode 001

We Are Legion (We Are Bob)

What happens when a dead software engineer gets turned into a sentient space probe?

In the premiere episode of Sci-Fi Book Pod, we dive into "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" by Dennis E. Taylor—the hilariously existential first entry in the Bobiverse series.

The premise?
Imagine waking up a hundred years after your death… as a computer. No body. No coffee. Just you—uploaded into an AI, tasked with exploring the galaxy, replicating yourself, and possibly saving humanity (who mostly nuked itself while you were napping).

If you like brainy sci-fi with philosophical questions, snarky internal monologues, and an absurd number of clones named after pop culture icons… this one’s for you.
