TheThemFatale

We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E Taylor. I'd never before thought that an immortal digital consciousness who can't stop quoting/referencing 20th century nerd culture and spends decades out in space could be such an entertaining character, or have real, human, compelling stories and worries. The rest of the Bobiverse series isn't half bad either. The audiobook is particularly well performed.

Like their appeals to "basic biology", when actual basic biology is still trans-supportive.

Probably. But if they don't get it here, they'll find it elsewhere. We shouldn't change things to mollycoddle people who are constantly seeking a reason to be offended.

I'm nearly at the end of it. It's very much a fun book, especially for people who like DnD. There's some great characterisations and fight scenes in particular.
