After selling his software business, a leisurely retirement awaited him. That is, until he's killed crossing the street. Luckily, he had also just signed up to have his head cryogenically preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA century later, Bob wakes up, not in an utopia but global war. America is run by an extremist government that stripped his rights as a frozen head, uploaded his consciousness into an AI, and selected him to search space for habitable planets as a self-replicating von Neumann probe. It's not ideal, but if he declines, he'll be switched off for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Earth in turmoil, space may be the safest place for Bob. But the government failed to mention that he isn't alone...at least three other countries are looking to claim the next Earth, and they play dirty. Using his new AI abilities and the von Neuman technology he does what any engineer would do: He makes more Bobs--and a virtual cat--and sets to save humanity before it's too late.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fans of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, part space adventure, part philosophical voyage, \u003ci\u003eWe Are Legion (We Are Bob)\u003c\/i\u003e is a captivating and hilarious exploration of the joys and dangers of artificial intelligence, the wonders of space, and \u003ci\u003eeverything\u003c\/i\u003e that may await us \u003ci\u003eout there\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":51711918047465,"sku":"9781668221570","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/7429\/9369\/files\/WeAreLegion-HC.webp?v=1787542057","url":"https:\/\/snowlockbooks.com\/products\/we-are-legion","provider":"Snowlock Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
