We Are Legion (We Are Bob): Bobiverse: Book 1
by Dennis E. Taylor
Bob Johansson had a plan. After selling his software business, a leisurely retirement awaited him. And, if the cryogenic lab freezing his head succeeds, an even longer retirement in the distant future when his corpsicle gets reawakened. Everything was looking up for Bob. That is, until he's killed crossing the street just moments after signing the papers. A century later, Bob wakes up, not in a utopia but an Earth on the precipice of war. America is run by an extremist government that stripped his rights as a frozen head, uploaded his consciousness into an AI, and selected him to search space for habitable planets as a self-replicating von Neumann probe. It's not ideal, but if he declines, he'll be switched off for good. With Earth in turmoil, space may actually be the safest place for Bob.
