Book description
Forget everything you think you know about AI protagonists. Dennis E. Taylor's For We Are Many isn't just a brilliant sequel-it's the audiobook experience sci-fi fans have been waiting for. Imagine Andy Weir's razor-sharp humor meeting Ernest Cline's love of geek culture, all wrapped in a story where the hero wakes up as a sentient computer after a car crash, only to find himself controlling a probe that's been spreading through the galaxy for forty years. Ray Porter, the absolute perfect voice for Bob Johansson (and his many, many copies), brings every facet of this chaotic, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartwarming saga to life. His narration is pure joy-Bob's sarcasm, his geeky enthusiasm, and the sheer panic of managing a galaxy-sized crisis all feel utterly real.
The stakes? Massive. Earth is a radioactive ruin. Humanity's barely clinging to survival, while a radical faction wants to finish the job. Bob's little fleet of probes is under attack, and a terrifying alien species sees all other life as dinner. Bob, who just wanted quiet exploration, is now a sky god to primitive natives, humanity's last hope for a new home, and the only thing standing between the local galaxy and a literal food chain. It's chaos, yes-but Taylor writes it with such infectious energy, such a knack for turning cosmic disasters into deeply relatable (and laugh-out-loud funny) moments, that you'll be utterly hooked.
Porter's performance is the secret weapon. He gives each "Bob" a distinct voice-frustrated, cheerful, bewildered-making the concept of multiple selves feel effortless and thrilling. You'll hear the panic in his voice as he tries to explain quantum physics to a tribe of space-natives, or the dry wit as he debates with a probe named "Bobby" over the best way to deflect an alien attack. It's not just narration; it's a masterclass in bringing complex, funny, human (even when not human) characters to vivid, audible life.
This is sci-fi as it should be: smart, packed with genuine wonder, and utterly impossible to put down. Listeners call it "so much fun" and "what sci-fi was meant to be"-and they're absolutely right. If you've ever loved a story that makes you laugh while your brain races with cool ideas, For We Are Many is your next obsession. Ray Porter's Bob is the perfect guide through the chaos, and this audiobook? It's pure, unadulterated delight. Don't just read it-listen. You'll be thanking yourself for it.
