Audiobook narrated by Ray Porter.
A solid second entry for the Bobiverse series. This book begins to shift the focus away from Sol, showing how the different Bobs differentiate from each other and the problems in the universe at large.
- The Bobs are changing more drastically with each generation and it was great to see the different opinions they have and the inter-Bob conflict.
- As there are now more Bobs, there are now more points of view in the narrative. I liked how this allowed different mini snippets and plotlines to develop.
- I like how the way different Bobs view physical life is changing, how some are still very connected to humanity/sentient races, and others find them to be too fleeting.
- Where as the first novel focused more on the benefits of being a replicant, this book definitely begins to introduce the downsides and limitations of such an existence and makes the reader think about the moral, ethical and personal aspects of being a non-physical sentience.
I really enjoyed For We Are Many and have already started All These Worlds which I'm hoping will take the series to even more thought-provoking heights.
