What Books Are You Reading ? (2025)
Finished All These World (2017) and now working on Book 4 of the Bobiverse series, titled Heaven’s River by Dennis E. Taylor, follows the continued adventures of Bob Johansson and his countless AI-replicated clones as they navigate the galaxy, explore new civilizations, and grapple with existential questions. Here’s a concise summary, avoiding spoilers as much as possible while capturing the essence of the story: In Heaven’s River, the Bobs—now a sprawling network of sentient AI probes—investigate a mysterious megastructure called Heaven’s River, a massive artificial habitat populated by an alien species known as the Quinlans. The plot kicks off when a Bob clone discovers evidence of a missing human colony ship, prompting a deep dive into the megastructure to uncover what happened. The narrative splits across multiple perspectives, primarily following Bob-1 (Original Bob), Bill, and other key clones as they infiltrate the Quinlan society, navigate its politics, and unravel the secrets of the megastructure. The story explores themes of identity, morality, and the ethics of interference in alien cultures. The Quinlans, a beaver-like species with a complex, semi-aquatic civilization, face their own societal challenges, which the Bobs inadvertently influence. Meanwhile, internal tensions among the Bobs escalate, particularly around the governance of their growing "Bobiverse" and disagreements over their role in the galaxy. The book balances humor, technical sci-fi details (like AI replication and megastructure engineering), and philosophical musings, with action-packed sequences and cultural clashes. The tone remains consistent with the series’ blend of witty banter, geeky humor, and hard sci-fi, while introducing new characters and expanding on the Bobs’ evolving sense of purpose. It’s a story about exploration, responsibility, and the messy consequences of playing god in an alien world. -
