As a fan of Star Trek, I found this to be an enthralling read. Great concept and interesting character development. Highly recommend if you like science fiction. Some of the references can get a little cringe-inducing, but that somehow makes the overall narrative more enduring.

Here's Bob.
He is a software developer who likes Star Wars, Star Trek, Anime and all manners of pop culture things.
He's goofy at times but is really reliable in a time of need. He is fun to be around but he can be a total introvert and can be a total downer too.
He has many faces and each trait of his personality is being emphasized in the various incarnations that we see in this book.
It is a great sci-fi book but it is most enjoyable if you understand all the references and jokes hidden in plain sight in this book.

Absolute greatest short but falls shot at the end
This begins on a bang. And I love how the exploration is done. But after 70% felt the story is going nowhere and repeating the same. Hopefully we get something amazing in second book. Still this is a very good read. Bobs are amazing

I'm pretty new to the sci-fi genre but I have to say I enjoyed this book! It was humorous and well-paced. The only problem I had was keeping up with all of the Bobs.

All the naivety and arrogance of Silicon Valley gathered in a frustratingly boring bundle.
