In many ways I had the sense that there was some filler in places waiting for the big ending to happen. The books in this series reference many sci-fi tropes along the way and that is not necessarily bad. However because of the tropes the main resolution was easily predictable and something I expected since book 2. Even the superiority that the Bob's felt over the ephemeral was getting old. I did enjoy the read but it did not wow me and I was looking forward to the end. Because of all this I see it only as a 3 star book regardless of the popularity. ** Potential Spoiler ** One annoying thing and something I consider a missed opportunity concerns the replication/transformation from human to machine entity. I find it extremely hard to believe that in all the time that the story takes place not one person wanted to make the leap from being biological to machine entity, not one. Given the upsides (basically eternal, see the universe, replicant bodies available, etc.) of it with little downside it is unbelievable that no one wanted to enter that world when they died or maybe even wanting to switch while living. It is basically a Bob only club. I also found the conclusion weak. But as they say, YMMV I'm rating this as the whole series, not just this last part, and rounding 4.5 stars up to 5 because it's a relatively unknown series. As I said, it's written in the style of The Martian; there are a series of adventures and problems to solve, some of which lasted a while and some that were solved fairly quickly, although most seemed to have some gotcha about the time they were almost solved. The characters were interesting, especially the Bobs. I think there were 500 Bobs by the end, and it made it a little confusing, but not really too bad because the context seemed to be more important than which actual Bob it was, and it wasn't hard to keep up when it was important. The book had a bit of everything - science, humor, philosophy, even romance, which is unusual considering the Bobs are basically computers. But they have a lot of human characteristics, which comes as a surprise even to themselves at times. Also, their thoughts and emotions often come as a surprise to them, as well. The author has shown himself to be one to watch out for, and I'll definitely pay attention to any of his other books that are out now or in the future. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheBobiverse (3)
Die Galaxis im 23. Jahrhundert. Nach seinem Tod wurde der Physiker Bob Johansson zu einer kybernetischen Intelligenz umgewandelt, die sich im Lauf der Zeit zu nur minimal veränderten Klonen repliziert hat. Längst sind die KI-Bobs auch als jeweils in Ich-Form erzählender Howard, Marcus, Bill oder Mack miteinander vernetzt, sie können Raumfahrzeuge bauen und steuern, fremde Planeten kolonialisieren oder fliegende Städte entwickeln, um sie gegen diktatorische Politiker zu schützen. Während die diversen Planeten-Zivilisationen langsam befriedet sind, haben es Aliens auf die Erde abgesehen, sodass eine letzte Schlacht gegen die Eindringlinge unausweichlich wird. Im steten Zeit- und Perspektivwechsel der diversen Bob-Klone entsteht aus kurzen Episoden ein bald komplettes Mosaikbild der abenteuerlichen Ereignisse.

While this book was a fine, clean ending to the series, it did not live up to its predecessors. ( )
