The Martian by Andy Weir is a thrilling survival story about a NASA astronaut stranded on Mars. This is firmly in the Gravity/Apollo 13 camp of astronaut disaster tales, not a space opera like Star Wars. It's striking how much of the protagonist's personality comes out through his voice and any entrepreneurs/leaders/humans out there would do well to learn from his resourcefulness.
@eliotpeper I absolutely LOVE this book. My wife just read it and felt the same way. And my co-worker finished it in a day because he couldn't put it down.
I've seen countless people recommend this book! including Ben Parr, recently.
It also appeared in both the AirBnB's I stayed in on my recent trip to San Francisco haha.
We were grateful to have Andy Weir's LIVE Chat hosted here on Product Hunt :)
Andy Weir was on the TWIST podcast with Jason Calacanis. Great interview. Got me to buy the book, which is indeed tough to put down. :)
