Dennis E. Taylor made his name with the Bobiverse series, a deceptively breezy strand of hard science fiction that follows a software engineer reincarnated as a self-replicating space probe. We Are Legion (We Are Bob) kicks it off with geek humor and genuine scientific rigor — Taylor is one of the few writers who can make Dyson spheres and relativistic physics feel like friendly dinner conversation. The jokes land, but so does the existential weight: what does identity mean when you can copy yourself across the galaxy? Heaven's River takes the series to its most ambitious and emotionally resonant place. Taylor writes with an engineer's precision and a comedian's timing, which makes him a natural fit for readers who love their big ideas served with warmth rather than austerity. Ray Porter's narration on the Bobiverse audiobooks is practically essential — the two are a perfect match.
