Review: Not Till We Are Lost: Bobiverse, Book 5 by Dennis E. Taylor. AI-Generated.
Introduction: And the return to Bobiverse Not Till We Are Lost is the fifth book of the Bobiverse series that has been penned by Dennis E. Taylor. As in the previous books, Taylor takes readers through the exploits of Bob Johansson who, after having transitioned from software engineer to digital replicant, traverses the universe in command of a network of self-replicating consciousnesses. It’s nice to have the humor, science fiction, and philosophical debate mix back in this book that fans of the series have enjoyed. However, Taylor goes beyond asking existential questions, exploring the concept of consciousness, as well as problems of space-faring and alien diplomacy and existence. The result is a highly engaging, well-written, and thought-provoking next installment of the Bobiverse Saga that once again captures the charm, wit, and pulse-pounding action that previous novels from this author introduced the world to.
