NASA-astronaut Mark Watney, botaniker og maskiningeniør, strander på Mars og har ingen kontakt til Jorden. Mark må nu bruge al sin viden om botanik og teknik for at overleve.

“Hvis oxygenatoren bryder sammen, bliver jeg kvalt. Hvis vandindvinderen går i stykker, dør jeg af tørst. Hvis Hab’et revner, vil jeg ligesom bare eksplodere. Hvis ingen af disse ting sker, vil jeg på et tidspunkt løbe tør for fødevarer og sulte ihjel. Så ja, jeg er på skideren.”

The Martian er en science fiction bestsellerroman af Andy Weir fra 2011, men det er første gang, bogen er oversat til dansk.

Can do

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.
