We Are Legion (We Are Bob) (Bobiverse Book 1)

Product Information

An interesting concept of the future in the hands of artificial intelligence written in a simple and humorous way. Apocalypse How: When the Brazilians fired on the HEAVEN-1, this started a war. Every nation got involved, and China eventually destroyed Brazil by dropping asteroids on them. Riker and Homer arrive just as the last Brazilian warships are preparing to drop asteroids on what's left of China, which would render the Earth uninhabitable in weeks instead of decades. Once the warships are dealt with, Riker works to evacuate the fifteen million survivors, since it will take ten thousand years for Earth's biosphere to recover. In May 2019, Taylor was invited by Google to one of the "Talks at Google" where he gave some insight into what inspired his writings, and what his plans are for the next few years. [18] Personal life [ edit ] More than a hundred years ago, the Bob clone named Bender set a course to explore far beyond where the other Bobs were spreading and was never heard from again. There has been no trace of him despite numerous searches by his clone-mates. Now Bob is determined to organize an expedition to learn Bender’s fate—whatever the cost. Charles reports material shortages to Riker, Riker tries to sell UN on putting Earth population in stasis

Buster has mated, tents have become widespread, Deltan population growth issues lead to gang activity This book is a marvelous exercise in hard sci-fi—Mr. Taylor clearly did his research on every aspect, from space stations to interstellar travel to artificial intelligences. The Bobs make a few derisive references to “hand-waving about nanomachines” in sci-fi, which made me smile since I have been guilty of just that. While obviously any science-fiction work is bound to have some unexplained elements—it has to, otherwise it wouldn’t be fiction—the amount of research and scientific knowledge that went into We Are Legion is impressive. Undying Loyalty: He keeps fighting for the Brazilian Empire long after the Brazilian Empire is no more. Of course, if he has similar loyalty switches as the ones FAITH put in Bob, he might not have a choice. Ugh, this is one of those occasions when I have to disagree because “…but I can see that if you don’t like the basic Bob character, the whole book would be less appealing. It’s pretty much all Bob, all the time.” Big Bad Ensemble: With Medeiros and The Others' Prime who are the antagonists of the Bobs outside the Sol System.Please report metadata errors at the source library.

Bill holds moot to discuss Herschel & Neil's findings, announces some monitoring drones have been found by Others Bob's fourth clone, and by far the most antisocial. He leaves for Beta Hydri, a relatively distant star, so as to stake his claim early. Herschel and Neil arrive at Earth, Herschel comes up with plan to save all remaining humans, begins collecting them

Von Neumann Probe: an automated interstellar probe that builds “copies of itself as it visits systems”. At one time, we thought that the way life came together was almost completely random, only needing an energy gradient to get going. But as we’ve moved into the information age, we’ve come to realize that life is more about information than energy. Fire has most of the characteristics of life. It eats, it grows, it reproduces. But fire retains no information. It doesn’t learn; it doesn’t adapt. The five millionth fire started by lightning will behave just like the first. But the five hundredth bacterial division will not be like the first one, especially if there is environmental pressure. That’s DNA. And RNA. That’s life. … Dr. Steven Carlisle, from the Convention panel Exploring the Galaxy”Space Vessels [ ] Heaven 1.0 [ ] Heaven 2.0 [ ] Heaven 3.0 [ ] Heaven 4.0 [ ] Heaven 5.0 [ ] Geopolitical Environment (book 1) [ ]
