Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Los Bobs han creado suficientes colonias para que la humanidad no se extinga, pero las disputas políticas tienen el mal hábito de persistir a pesar de todo; y las sondas brasileñas aún siguen intentando acabar con la competencia. No conforme, los Bobs han elegido pelear contra una especie más antigua y más poderosa, con un apetito voraz y muy poca paciencia.

The Bobiverse is a different place in the aftermath of the Starfleet War, and the days of the Bobs gathering in one big happy moot are far behind. There’s anti-Bob sentiment on multiple planets, the Skippies playing with an AI time bomb, and multiple Bobs just wanting to get away from it all.

Bob’s descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore.
