Mars is supposed to be dead. Bizarre quakes are rumbling over the long-dormant tectonic plates of the planet, disrupting its trillion-dollar mining operations and driving scientists past the edges of theory and reason. However, when rocks shake off their ancient dust and begin to roll seemingly of their own volition carving canals as they converge to form a towering structure amid the ruddy terrain, Lt. Jain and her JSC team realize that their routine geological survey of a Martian cave system is anything but. The only clues they have stem from the emissions of a mysterious blue radiation, and a 300-year-old journal that is writing itself.

Jane is the only person left on the planet, minding the only business left: a gift shop. She wasn’t born on Earth, but her ancestors were; they lived there before the AI in charge of geoengineering failed and the oceans got too hot to sustain the terrestrial food web and before humans took off to colonize other planets. She’s heading to college on Jupiter in the fall of 3020, so her days on the home planet—selling “American Epoch” postcards, “History: The Poster!” and “War: The Soundtrack” to tourists from the suburbs of Europa—are numbered.

It’s been a little over a year since Todd Landon’s life changed with the arrival of the Nentraee.

When the alien ship holding me malfunctions, I'm thrown into a shuttle and expelled from the ship. I awaken to find myself on what looks like a toxic waste dump - miles of inhospitable, eerie land where the ground smokes, the hills are black and barren, and it's unpleasantly cold. Soon I discover I'm not alone. There's an alien on the awful island. A familiar alien. He's the one who bought me from my captors. He's the one who paid extra because I'm a virgin. And he's the one who put me aboard the shuttle and saved my life when the ship went down.

Los Rujarras atacaron el Día de Colón. Habíamos navegado con inocencia por el cosmos en nuestra pequeña canica azul, como si fuéramos nativos americanos en 1492.

L'attesissimo sequel di "Noi siamo infinito (Noi siamo Bob)", vincitore del miglior titolo di fantascienza di Audible nel 2016. Gli ascoltatori lo definiscono "esilarante", "esattamente ciò che ci si aspetta da un'opera di fantascienza" e ciò che sarebbe successo se "Andy Weir ed Ernest Cline avessero avuto un figlio". Bob Johansson non credeva nella vita dopo la morte, e riaprire gli occhi in seguito a un incidente mortale è stato per lui un grosso trauma. Come se ciò non bastasse, è tornato in vita come computer senziente e intelligenza dominante in una sonda di Von Neumann.
