We Are Legion (We Are Bob)

Taylor’s novel is a hilarious and clever romp through space, following a man uploaded into an AI probe who becomes a one-man (and many-copy) interstellar civilization. The tone is light and energetic, but the ideas — identity, replication, interstellar engineering — stay satisfyingly nerdy. The narrative blends humour with exploration, building a universe where curiosity and improvisation lead the way. It’s perfect for readers who want the scientific fun and optimism of Project Hail Mary but with more comedy and chaos.
