Robinson Crusoe on Mars **Andy Weir's second novel Artemis, a high concept thriller set on the moon, is out now** A survival story for the 21st century and the international bestseller behind the major film from Ridley Scott, starring Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain. I’m stranded on Mars. I have no way to communicate with Earth. I’m in a Habitat designed to last 31 days. If the Oxygenator breaks down, I’ll suffocate. If the Water Reclaimer breaks down, I’ll die of thirst. If the Hab breaches, I’ll just kind of explode. If none of those things happen, I’ll eventually run out of food and starve to death. So yeah. I’m screwed. Andy Weir's second novel Artemis is now available.
Reading The Martian at a young age inspired me to pursue a career that could take me to Mars. It also made me reflect on themes of isolation, which has been particularly helpful during my recent rereads, especially since I'm feeling socially isolated these days.
It's a fantastic read that combines science fiction with dark comedy, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking.
It's an empowering read about a man's relentless struggle to survive on Mars, showcasing determination and ingenuity.
