#64 We Are Legion by Dennis E. Taylor

[missingvolume]

 

Bob is doing pretty well for himself, he just sold his company for a large pike of money and for kicks he just paid to have himself frozen after death to be revived at a later date.  A hundred years pass, and Bob finds himself in a computer with no rights and all his careful savings gone. The current government wants to use him to pilot a probe to find new worlds to colonize and they barely tolerate him since his existence is blasphemy to their religious beliefs. But other countries have the same tech and it is a race to get Bob to space before he is blown up on the ground. Now Bob and several clone selves are out in the universe trying to find new places and maybe get back to Earth.
