The Bobiverse series[2] by Dennis E. Taylor is a great fun read or audiobook (I've done both!).
Bobiverse Series by Dennis E. Taylor which I'm about to start listening to again.
I liked the first 3 books of the Bobiverse series but book 4 wasn’t as enjoyable as the rest for me.
If you're into sci-fi, the Bobiverse trilogy was an absolute pleasure to read. Kinda a silly name, but really tickled me in a similar way that The Martian did.
IMO the Bobiverse books are trying to have a fun go at a few different big sci-fi concepts and on that basis I think they're fairly successful.
