Because we are many

Author's name: Dennis E. Taylor Publisher: They Imagine for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2024 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: Bob's Virtual World 2: Because We Are Many Robot Bob Johansson did not believe in his life after death, so waking up after being killed in a car accident is shocking. And what increased the surprise is that he has now become a smart computer and artificial intelligence controlling the Von Neumann explorer. Bob and his copies have been spreading from Earth for 40 years now, searching for habitable planets, but this is the only part of the plan that remains intact, as the systemic war killed 99.9% of humanity, and the nuclear winter gradually makes Earth uninhabitable. A radical group wants to end the mission on the remnants of humanity, and Brazilian space probes are still trying to sabotage the competition. Bob's copies discovered a kind of creature that moves in space and considers everything else food for it. Bob left Earth expecting an exploratory and isolated happy life. Instead, he became the leader of a primitive kind of creatures, and the only hope to transfer humanity to a new homeland. Perhaps he is the only thing capable of preventing every living being in the surrounding field from ending up just as food.
