For We Are Many

Waking up after death was not part of Bob Johansson's original plan, but now, four decades later, he finds himself as a sentient computer mind piloting a self-replicating space probe. What began as a mission to explore the cosmos has become a race against multiple threats. Humanity teeters on the brink of extinction after a devastating war, with Earth spiraling into nuclear darkness and extremist groups fighting over remaining scraps of civilization. Rogue Brazilian probes continue their destructive path, while the Bobs have encountered an alien species that views other life forms as a food source.

Bob, along with his digital copies, must navigate these challenges, from being a "sky god" to a primitive alien civilization to becoming humanity's sole hope for a new home. This scattered army of digital intelligences, outnumbered and outgunned, faces the task of outsmarting extinction itself. The stakes involve not only the survival of humanity but also the fate of every living thing in the local sphere.
