Project Hail Mary

I had an absolute blast reading this book. If you have any interest in sci-fi, science, outer space, alien life, or humanity's precarious place in the stars, I think you'll find a lot to like here.

I don't want to say too much since part of the plot is discovering things alongside the character as his memories return, but the same scrappy, warmhearted, optimistic “we'll science a way out of this problem” from The Martian is on full display here, and is a joy from start to finish. Highly recommended.
