Appreciating Andy Weir
I know I am late to the party, but I have recently been on a sci-fi kick and, in particular, I have been enjoying both The Martian and Project Hail Mary. Both were deeply engaging and had excellent little bits of realistic science. I grew up on Asimov but this more grounded and realistic science writing is really up my alley. The movies were both great too. I wholeheartedly recommend anything by Andy Weir and can’t wait for whatever he writes next.
