The Martian

Author: Andy Weir

Stranded on Mars, astronaut Mark Watney faces impossible odds. With dwindling supplies and no way to contact Earth, he must rely on his ingenuity and gallows humor to survive. Weir’s gripping tale blends hard science with human resilience, keeping readers on the edge of their seats. I found myself rooting for Mark’s MacGyver-like solutions and laughing at his snarky log entries. A thrilling adventure that reminds us of the indomitable human spirit.

I’m pretty much fucked. That’s my considered opinion. Fucked.
