Bob Johansson's life takes an unexpected turn when he's killed just moments after selling his software business. Awakening a century later, his consciousness is uploaded into an AI and tasked with searching space for habitable planets. Faced with a dystopian Earth and the threat of other nations, Bob uses his new abilities and von Neumann technology to create more Bobs and embark on a mission to save humanity. In this captivating and humorous exploration of artificial intelligence and space, Bob must navigate the complexities of his new existence. With Earth in turmoil, space becomes the safest place for Bob. However, the government's secrecy about other nations' similar missions adds a layer of danger and intrigue. Bob's journey is not just about survival but also about understanding the joys and dangers of artificial intelligence and the wonders of space.
