Bobiverse

edited 2026-06-14

A complete reading order for the Bobiverse series by Dennis E. Taylor — five novels following Bob Johansen, a software engineer whose mind is uploaded into a von Neumann probe and tasked with finding humanity a new home among the stars. The series is strictly linear: each novel continues directly from the last, so publication order and in-universe chronological order are identical.
