Description
Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of leisure. However, his plans are put on hold when he gets himself killed crossing the street. Bob wakes up a century later to find that corpsicles have been declared to be without rights, and he is now the property of the state. He has been uploaded into computer hardware and is slated to be the controlling AI in an interstellar probe looking for habitable planets. The stakes are high: no less than the first claim to entire worlds. If he declines the honor, he'll be switched off, and they'll try again with someone else. If he accepts, he becomes a prime target. With multiple countries trying to launch their own probes first, the situation is tense. The safest place for Bob is in space, heading away from Earth at top speed. But the universe is full of dangers, and trespassers make them mad - very mad.
