Dennis E. Taylor is a Canadian author and former computer programmer known for his large-scale hard science fiction stories exploring the interaction between artificial intelligence and the human condition.

Dennis Taylor was born in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada.[citation needed]

While working as a computer programmer, Taylor self-published his first novel and began working with an agent to try to publish his second novel, We Are Legion (We Are Bob). Taylor had difficulty finding a publishing house to accept his work. Eventually, he published it through his agent's in-house publishing arm.

An audiobook rights deal with Audible was reached, however. After its release, We Are Legion gained significant popularity on the service and was awarded Best Science Fiction Audiobook of the Year.

After the success of We Are Legion (We Are Bob), Taylor expanded the Bobiverse series with sequels like For We Are Many and All These Worlds. The books delved into themes such as artificial intelligence, space exploration, and the future of humanity, all while maintaining a lighthearted and often humorous tone. In September 2020, Taylor released his sixth novel Heaven's River, the fourth book in the Bobiverse series. Book five, Not Till We Are Lost, was released in June 2025. On December 12th 2025, Taylor posted on his website: "I have just finished edits on book 6, The Infinite Extent.".

Taylor's 2018 novel The Singularity Trap as well as his 2020 novel Heaven's River debuted on The New York Times Bestseller List for Fiction Audiobooks.

Taylor's works have been translated into several languages, including Japanese, German, French and Polish.

Taylor's Bobiverse series examines themes such as cryonics, mind uploading, and artificial intelligence and their potential impacts on society and the human condition. Another major topic is global catastrophic risk, which is also featured in Outland and The Singularity Trap.
