After dying in a freak accident, Bob Johansson wakes up a century later to find his consciousness uploaded into a computer. He is now a Von Neumann probe, a self-replicating spacecraft tasked with finding new homes for humanity. As Bob clones himself to explore the galaxy, he encounters alien civilizations and internal conflicts among his own copies. This clever science fiction novel balances hard physics with witty dialogue, exploring what it means to be human while delivering a grand, interstellar adventure.

A well-known book with a dedicated readership.
