We Are Legion

When a brilliant programmer finds himself unexpectedly uploaded into a digital realm, he discovers the incredible power—and profound loneliness—of being a consciousness without a body. As he grapples with the implications of immortality, he is not just surviving; he’s tasked with creating a fleet of self-aware starships to explore the cosmos and ensure humanity’s legacy continues beyond Earth. Driven by a relentless curiosity and an insatiable desire for adventure, he becomes a pioneer in a universe filled with both astonishing possibilities and unforeseen dangers. Each new iteration of himself—cloned into a unique spaceship—brings with it distinct personalities, quirks, and ambitions, creating a fascinating tapestry of interactions as they learn to navigate their existence in the vast expanse of space. Themes of identity, belonging, and the essence of humanity pulse through the narrative as the protagonist grapples with questions that transcend his digital existence. What does it mean to be "human" when you're made of code? Can relationships flourish in a digital landscape, or will they be forever anchored by the limitations of their new reality? As each clone ventures into the unknown, they encounter alien civilizations, cosmic phenomena, and ethical dilemmas that challenge their understanding of life itself. Amidst the humor and camaraderie of the Bobiverse, there’s a profound exploration of what it means to be part of something larger than oneself. The protagonists must confront not only interstellar challenges but also their own fears of isolation and the desire for connection in a boundless universe. As they unlock the mysteries of the cosmos, they learn that the greatest journeys often take place within—the quest for purpose and meaning in a rapidly changing reality where every decision could alter the fate of many. With wit and imaginative world-building, this thrilling expedition into space invites readers to ponder the future of humanity and the myriad ways we connect, even when scattered among the stars.
