L'attesissimo sequel di "Noi siamo infinito (Noi siamo Bob)", vincitore del miglior titolo di fantascienza di Audible nel 2016. Gli ascoltatori lo definiscono "esilarante", "esattamente ciò che ci si aspetta da un'opera di fantascienza" e ciò che sarebbe successo se "Andy Weir ed Ernest Cline avessero avuto un figlio". Bob Johansson non credeva nella vita dopo la morte, e riaprire gli occhi in seguito a un incidente mortale è stato per lui un grosso trauma. Come se ciò non bastasse, è tornato in vita come computer senziente e intelligenza dominante in una sonda di Von Neumann.

L'attesissima ed epica conclusione della tanto amata serie che ha tenuto gli ascoltatori (e i dipendenti) di Audible incollati alle cuffie; un amore a primo Bob narrato ancora una volta dall'impareggiabile Alberto Onofrietti. Essere una nave spaziale senziente dovrebbe essere molto più divertente, ma dopo aver viaggiato in lungo e in largo per lo spazio, è chiaro che Bob e i suoi cloni proprio non riescano a tenersi fuori dai guai.

C'è una buona ragione se nel 2016 "Noi Siamo Infinito (Noi Siamo Bob)" è stato nominato miglior titolo di fantascienza di Audible, ed è per la sua irresistibile sagacia e i toni irriverenti. Bob Johansson ha appena guadagnato una piccola fortuna dalla vendita della sua azienda di software e non vede l'ora di godersi la sua nuova vita all'insegna dell'agio. E il primo punto della sua lista di cose da fare è proprio iniziare a sperperare quel bendidio. Trascinato dal desiderio di spendere e spandere, acconsente a far conservare criogenicamente la sua testa in caso di morte.

Ser uma nave senciente realmente poderia ser mais divertido. Mas depois de se espalhar pelo espaço por quase um século, Bob e seus clones simplesmente não conseguem ficar longe dos problemas. Eles criaram colônias suficientes para que a humanidade não fosse extinta. Mas as disputas políticas têm o mau hábito de serem duronas e as sondas brasileiras ainda são um problema.

Bob Johansson acaba de vender sua empresa de software por uma pequena fortuna e está ansioso por uma vida tranquila. O primeiro item de sua lista de tarefas: gastar! Ele então se inscreve para ter sua cabeça preservada criogenicamente quando morrer. Pouco tempo depois, é atropelado, morre e acorda 117 anos depois para descobrir que sua mente será enviada para uma sonda espacial senciente com capacidade de replicação. Bob e seus clones estão em uma missão para encontrar novos lares para a humanidade e corajosamente ir aonde nenhum Bob jamais esteve.

So when blood is shed on that sacred ground, it’s seen as an attack against the entire colony.

In a world where power is everything, Aleks and Vaira Kercheval have rejected their magical heritage.
