Enam hari yang lalu, astronaut Mark Watney menjadi salah satu orang pertama yang menjejakkan kaki di Mars. Sekarang dia yakin akan menjadi yang pertama mati di sana. Mark ditinggalkan di Mars oleh rekan-rekannya, yang mengira dia tewas ketika terjadi badai pasir. Sekarang dia sendirian, tak punya sarana untuk mengirim sinyal ke Bumi, dan persediaan makanannya sudah pasti akan habis lama sebelum tim penyelamat bisa datang. Tapi Mark belum mau menyerah. Berbekal keterampilan teknis dan kreativitasnya---plus rasa humor yang terbukti menjadi sumber kekuatan terbesarnya---dia memulai misi untuk bertahan hidup, menanam kentang untuk dimakan, dan bahkan menyusun rencana edan untuk menghubungi NASA di Bumi. Rintangan demi rintangan berhasil diatasinya, dan Mark mulai yakin dia bisa keluar dari Mars hidup-hidup---tetapi planet ini ternyata menyimpan banyak kejutan untuknya.

I went in with the understanding this was a book about a bunch of whatif science problems so enjoyed it. The author did a good job of keeping things moving forward without getting too bogged down in detail. The structure of the story meant the protagonist was maybe the most upbeat superhuman I’ve met so it there was no emotional stakes but that was by design.

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.
