Mark Watney a été l un des premiers humains à poser le pied sur Mars. À présent, il est persuadé d être le premier à y mourir. Lorsqu'une tempête de sable mortelle force ses coéquipiers à évacuer la planète, Mark se retrouve seul et sans ressources. Pourtant Mark n est pas prêt à baisser les bras. Ingénieux, habile de ses mains et surtout très têtu, il affronte les problèmes en apparence insurmontables un par un. Isolé et aux abois, parviendra-t-il à survivre en faisant mentir les statistiques ?
I started this book on the subway home from work, continued reading over dinner, and finished it that night in bed. It's griping, the science is solid, and it's about as close to "hard sci-fi" as you can get. The movie is also quite enjoyable.
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.
Divertido e nerdy, adorei!

Really intriguing tech short story. Read it twice.
liked the story. found it could me a less heavy on engineering and twists but found it cohesive still. the attitude he reveals throughout the whole thing is just incredible.
