We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor
5.0
A thoroughly enjoyable book. To me, this took the humour from The Martian, and tweaked the hard science part of it down in to digestible nuggets of information that didn't detract from the larger story.
Bob is a great character, as is our "main" protagonist, Bob 1.
What I loved about this book is that the author saw all of the sci-fi topics you'd like to see explored - usually one at a time - and ostensibly said, "well, let's just do it all".
You end up with a vast range of narrative threads, some more interesting than others of course, but that's the beauty of this book - different parts will appeal to different readers.
The humour is funny, and the geeky references are sprinkled in at just the right amount to not feel overdone.
I listened to the audiobook version of this, narrated by Ray Porter, and thoroughly recommend it. I look forward to reading the rest of the Bobiverse!
