Taylor’s Bobiverse book series, which starts with the novel, We Are Legion, We Are Bob, has been optioned by Lord Miller Productions: the production company from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller that gave us Cocaine Bear and is behind the upcoming adaptation of Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary as well as the live-action Spider-Noir series starring Nicolas Cage. Lord and Miller are also the creators and directors of films like The Lego Movie and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The news came out at a panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where Lord Miller Productions’ president Aditya Sood shared the news. It’s not yet clear what the adaptation will look like. Live-action or animated? Feature or television series? Whatever form the end product takes will likely be of great interest to Bobiverse fans. Here’s the premise of the first book, for those who aren’t familiar: 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. But the government failed to mention that he isn’t alone… at least three other countries are looking to claim the next Earth, and they play dirty. Using his new abilities and the Von Neuman technology he does what any engineer would do: He makes more Bobs—and a virtual cat—and sets out to save humanity before it’s too late. And for those wanting to delve into the Bobiverse while we wait for updates from Lord Miller Productions, Saga Press is also publishing hardcover editions of the books (pictured below) starting with We Are Legion, We Are Bob coming out on October 7, 2025.
