The Martian

I've heard several people say that Andy Weir has brought science back to science fiction, and they are not wrong. The author's thorough research creates credible approach on what modern scientists and engineers would do in Mark Watney's situation. And everything is translated in a very fun and entertaining way making it suitable to all the public. It is clear that in order to go into space one must have a multidisciplinary knowledge and abilities to solve problems that can occur at anytime.

As an engineer, I am totally delighted with the quality of this work and how I visualized precisely everything Watney and his partners did.
