About this deal

Part of what I love is that the book somehow manages to have a single driving character that is at the same time feels like several characters, all of which I'm jealous of.

While this narrative still retains an episodic feel previous book in the series, the story here is more compelling with the increased tension, emotional resonance and threats in the plot. Subverted later when it's made clear that he's merely using experimental Brazilian Empire technologies that were never put into widespread use before the war and is ultimately defeated as he never creates his own version of the Bobs' Subspace Ansible which allows them to ultimately defeat him. Quantum mechanics may someday make it possible to replicate those 17 billions computers, and it might make sense to send such a construct out into the void, to ‘go where no man has gone before’, but that construct would not be the original ‘Bob’.Pet the Dog: He saves the Australian replicant and builds him a VR sim, when it would have been simpler to just Mercy Kill him (as he had gone quite insane) and scavenge his wreck. DYSON SPHERE: A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its power output.

Still stinging from getting their collective butts kicked in their first encounter with the Others, the Bobs now face the prospect of a decisive final battle to defend Earth and its colonies. Interestingly, their methods are described as being incredibly efficient, centuries or perhaps millennia ahead of what humans or Bobs could achieve.

In addition, the universe that has been portrayed in the book is both fascinating and complex at the same time, from the Earth and its problems all the way to the other star systems. But it came recommended to me by not one, but two friends whose tastes run along the same lines as my own, so I had to give it a try. But despite the technological elements, and the occasionally very abstract scenes where Bob exists as a consciousness with no apparent physical form, the book is written with a light, relatable touch.

Following the success story of the first colony ship that landed on a different habitable planet, mortality and safety issues from colonization began rearing their head as the bio-compatibility issue runs both ways. Omnicidal Maniac: Refuses to negotiate or even co-exist with other sapient life, viewing them as either food to be consumed, pests to be eradicated, or both. He woke up a century later only to find out that his new body was in form of a type of computer program. In May 2019, Taylor was invited by Google to one of the "Talks at Google" where he gave some insight into what inspired his writings, and what his plans are for the next few years. The Quiet One: Not as much as Mario, but he tends to keep quiet unless he absolutely needs to speak up.Vitriolic Best Buds: He needles Goku constantly and seems to hate him, except that they happily paired up together to go to Alpha Centauri. He's upfront about his abilities, so most of the more intelligent members of the tribe just treat him as a powerful ally, but some of the others start building shrines. Riker was confused and irritated by Homer's choice of Homer Simpson as an identity/avatar, because original!
