The Martian by Andy Weir (2014)

Buy from Amazon Goodreads Librarything

My rating: ★★★★★

This is probably my favorite science, “lots of science” book. What happens when you dump an engineer on Mars by himself? The science and just survival described in this book is almost all based on real fact and there is a lot of it. How to grow potatoes on Mars and how to contact Earth without a working radio are all discussed in depth.

While this might not be a book for everyone, it is one of my favorites. If you liked the movie, you will like the book.
