The Bobiverse Series Summary

The Bobiverse is the story of Robert "Bob" Johansson, who, after becoming financially
independent by selling his software company, decides to spend some of his money by
contracting to have his head cryogenically frozen by CryoEterna Inc. upon his death.
The idea is that his head would be preserved until later, when technology permitted a
body to be grown and his thawed head attached to it - thus resuming life. The next day
he is unexpectedly killed in an automobile accident, and his contract is activated. He
wakes up 117 years later and finds that he has been harvested from his frozen
disembodied head and installed in a computer matrix as an artificial intelligence. The
world has significantly changed.

Bob is now the property of Applied Synergetics Inc which is in economic competition
with Total Cyber Systems to supply robotic servants to society. The lead scientist
charged with bringing Bob online is Dr. Landers. Bob's first task is to communicate with
a GUPPI interface to interact with peripheral systems. Dr Landers explains the
geopolitical history and begins preparation for Bob's mission: an interplanetary
expedition as the first Von Neumann Probe.

We Are Legion (We Are Bob) Book 1 (released on September 20, 2016)

Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of
leisure. There are places to go, books to read, and movies to watch. So it's a little unfair
when he gets himself killed crossing the street.

Bob wakes up 117 years later to find corpsicles declared to be without rights, and he is
now the property of the state called FAITH. He has been uploaded into computer
hardware and is slated to be the controlling AI in an interstellar probe looking for
habitable planets. The stakes are high: no less than the first claim to entire worlds. If he
declines the honor, he'll be switched off, and they'll try again with someone else. If he
accepts, he becomes a prime target. There are at least three other countries trying to
get their own probes launched first, and they play dirty.

The safest place for Bob is in space, heading away from Earth at top speed. Or so he
thinks. Because the universe is full of nasties, and trespassers make them mad – very
mad.

Robert "Bob" Johansson has recently sold his software development company,
InterGator Software, to a rival company, Terasoft, for a significant amount of
money. InterGator is a software development company which has developed the
leading engineering design and analysis application. Whileattending a convention in Las
Vegas, Robert Johansson is killed when an automobile strikes him in a pedestrian
crossing. Bob was on his way to having dinner with the first employees, and now major
stock holders, in InterGator Software; Carl, Karen, and Alan.

Bob lives in San Diego. He is emotionally close to his twin sisters Andrea and Alaina
and parents who live in Minnesota.
