"Being a sentient spaceship really should be more fun. But after spreading out through space for almost a century, Bob and his clones just can't stay out of trouble. They've created enough colonies so humanity shouldn't go extinct. But political squabbles have a bad habit of dying hard, and the Brazilian probes are still trying to take out the competition. And the Bobs have picked a fight with an older, more powerful species with a large appetite and a short temper. 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. But the Bobs are less disciplined than a herd of cats, and some of the younger copies are more concerned with their own local problems than defeating the Others. Yet salvation may come from an unlikely source. A couple of eighth-generation Bobs have found something out in deep space. All it will take to save the Earth and perhaps all of humanity is for them to get it to Sol - unless the Others arrive first.“—Goodreads.

Large-scale hard science fiction exploring interstellar exploration, self-replicating probes, and artificial intelligence gained widespread popularity through the Bobiverse series. Canadian novelist Dennis E. Taylor, writing as Dennis Taylor, gained prominence with his debut Bobiverse novel We Are Legion, which follows a digitized human mind managing space travel, first contact, and human survival across light-years.
Born in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Taylor spent many years working as a computer programmer before transitioning into writing. While working in software engineering, he self-published his first novel and began working with an agent to place his second manuscript, We Are Legion (We Are Bob). Although he initially faced difficulties securing traditional publication, the book found major success and launched his career as a full-time author.
Now retired from computer programming, Taylor splits his time between Coquitlam and Whistler, British Columbia, where he lives with his wife, Blaihin. Alongside writing, he is an active snowboarder in the winter and mountain biker in the summer. He has expanded his bibliography beyond his flagship series to include standalone tech-thrillers and sci-fi mysteries such as Flybot.
Taylor's fiction is rooted in hard science fiction principles, leaning heavily on technological concepts, orbital mechanics, and artificial intelligence development. Drawing directly from his background in software development, his stories frequently examine how synthetic minds, autonomous software, and uploaded human consciousness interact with complex physical environments and human society.
A distinct aspect of Taylor's narrative approach is combining technical accuracy with humor, practical problem-solving, and buddy-scientist dynamics. His works regularly address existential threats to humanity, first contact scenarios, the ethics of post-human existence, and the logistical challenges of deep-space colonization across multiple star systems.
