Dave Bahn asked Dennis E. Taylor:

Hi Dennis, i loved the bob books, and i am interested to know if you were stranded and could only take 5 books with you what would they be and why?

Dennis E. Taylor Depends on what you mean by 'stranded', of course. Stranded in an airport during a blizzard? I have dozens of books on my kindle that I haven't read yet. Stranded on a desert island or something similar? Then I wouldn't go for fiction. It would be more like:

- How to Invent Everything
- How to Rebuild Civilization in the Aftermath of a Cataclysm
- The Way Things Work
- Occupational First Aid
- The History of the Machine
- 1800 Mechanical Movements and Devices

No poetry in my soul, sorry.

I'm an avid fan of sci-fi books but your Bobiverse is one of the kind, very refreshing and I didn't know Von Neumann can be THAT versatile. I too can't wait for more from the Bobiverse! Please would you make that happen?

Laura asked Dennis E. Taylor:

I wanted to add 'Roadkill' (which I presume will be out this August) to my TBR pile on Goodreads, but I can't find it, Have they forgotten about it, or has the title changed?

Kevin Huff asked Dennis E. Taylor:

Not sure how recently you've answered this but will there be new Quantum Earth books anytime soon? I feel like there's so much more to that universe left to explore. Also love your books you're great at the craft, thanks for all the entertainment.
