What if the western / European world was wiped out completely in the 14th century instead of only 1/3rd of the population? Kim Stanley Robinson vividly imagines the stages of life and consequences to the world. The rise and spread of Islam instead of Christianity. The different minds who would awaken to the natural sciences. The empire building of China into the New World. The continuation of Native American cultures through their cooperation and shared values.
Dystopian historical science fiction with serious questions of religion, philosophy, and sociopolitical theories expertly woven together.

The character is hugely witty, intelligent and his former project management position makes the listener question is this how a higher being does it? Creating clones and minions of himself, Bob 1.0 delegates them to saves millions of civilians as earth is no longer a viable planet.
It's claustrophobic, creepy at times but mostly wonderfully engaging and humorous. Prepared to be confused by the various Bobs about.
