Colonization requires splitting the hive. Splitting the hive means a new Prime. A new Prime and another hive means war. This does not benefit us. Better to simply collect resources so that the hive can grow.

For We Are Many is a strong followup to the Bobiverse as it continues to advance the story and maintain an enjoyable level of humour and science fiction.

I am really enjoying this series as Taylor took an intriguing thought experiment and has built a story around exploring that concept. The ramifications of interacting with civilization (against the Prime Directive) and a balance of how much, or how little, intervention is a good thing.

Bobiverse continues to be an easy but engaging read. I find myself asking some very heavy existential questions and am eager to keep on reading.
