I have descended from my ivory tower and read a fiction book that was written in the 2000s…and I had such a fun time doing it! Andy Weir weaves science into his stories so well, and I loved the relationship between Grace and Rocky. Finally, as far as tropes go, humans and aliens trying to teach each other their respective languages is one of my favorites.
Brilliantly narrated book. I don’t normally like sci-fi but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I feel like I learnt a lot on physics, the science of space and possible alien life forms (ie that they will simply have characteristics that are direct results/resonse to their environment)
