Der Astronaut Mark Watney war auf dem besten Weg, eine lebende Legende zu werden, schließlich war er der erste Mensch in der Geschichte der Raumfahrt, der je den Mars betreten hat. Nun, sechs Tage später, ist Mark auf dem besten Weg, der erste Mensch zu werden, der auf dem Mars sterben wird: Bei einer Expedition auf dem Roten Planeten gerät er in einen Sandsturm, und als er aus seiner Bewusstlosigkeit erwacht, ist er allein. Auf dem Mars. Ohne Ausrüstung. Ohne Nahrung. Und ohne Crew, denn die ist bereits auf dem Weg zurück zur Erde. Es ist der Beginn eines spektakulären Überlebenskampfes ...

One of the best books I’ve read in years

5 stars

I loved this book, as did my two teenage boys. So this is a book that can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages. The book has a rip-roaring story and the protagonist frequently uses science to solve problems (which I liked) while making snide comments (which my kids liked). It’s really plot driven with minimal character development, but that’s OK for this book. The movie they made out of it isn’t bad, either. Recommend very strongly for science, sci-fi, and adventure story lovers.

Fun read.

And probably at least semi realistic? Didn't like it as much as Project Hail Mary by the same author. This sorta read as a sequence of "oh crap, another thing went wrong" problems, followed by solutions. I'm certain this is realistic - or even still overly optimistic, given what they were surviving through - but kinda made for an overly long, repetitive narrative. I suspect this is part of why they cut some of these out of the movie (and to save time, but also it got repetitive). Nevertheless, a fun read if you enjoy sci-fi that sticks close to contemporary science.

The Martian has everything you heard about it - hard science fiction, snarky humor and humans pulling together towards a singular goal. Given how hard it dives into numbers and science, it's a surprisingly fun and light read.

5 stars

The Martian is my favourite science fiction novel of all time, not only because its ingenuity in keeping the reader on the edge, but also because of how "down-to-Mars" it is regarding scientific accuracy. Having started to read this novel, I just couldn't put it down for a second, and kept thinking about the plot during meal breaks. The Martian is fantastic, and I do not regret a second of reading it.

brilliant!
this one was an audio book so I am aware my perception is skewed by the narrator but Weir's artwork is just splendid;
I love the movie but for some reason they have decided to film all the wrong things, it could be some much more;
I won't spoil here but it is a very thrilling story with lots of 'mechanics' described (for the lack of a better word). It tries to depict everything through the system thinking approach while simulating one engineer's thinking;
I will be looking for something similar, it reads like a project management guide, not lying here XD

Абсолютно платоновский Уэйр: набор совершенно уже не экзотичных околонаучных фактоидов завёрнут в настолько тонкую сценарную обёртку, что всю требуху и кости видно с первого взгляда.

Представляет исключительно исследовательский интерес.

“Quantum physics doesn’t make any sense,” she said. “Please don’t try to think about it too much. It can be very distressing.”

This booklet out of the Forward series was intriguing as well.
It explores a scenario where Quantum Computing becomes mainstream and is now used to crack the algorithms of Vegas casino's. And indeed, our world would become very interesting, as QC will break many things, like our encryption, non of our passwords will be safe anymore!
