[Discussion] Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir (Spoilers)
(lemmy.world)
We are two weeks into the month of September now. I think this might be a reasonable amount of time for some readers to have completed this book if they started early this month. At least I finished it last week. I'll leave this thread pinned for the rest of the month and next weekend I'll create the poll for the next book of the month. That poll will end on the last day of the month and the cycle will continue.
Feel free to include as many spoilers as you want in your comments as the post itself is marked as containing spoilers.
I'm hoping someone else could get started or else I will have to. 😅

Uh, such a tease! I was scrolling through Lemmy when I came across this article. As the first half of the cover image entered my screen I got all hyped seeing Andy Weir's name, thinking it's a new book announcement. Then I realized it's Hail Mary.
Great book. I think Weir's genre of choice is: slightly self deprecating, really smart specialist is left alone in the face of great adversity and works to overcome it using science and creative thinking. And you know what? I'm a fan of that genre.
Some people complain it's just the character from The Martian in a different story. Well I liked that character so I liked PHM. Same concept, different medium is Zelda breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom. Maybe it is a giant extension of the first game but that's exactly what I wanted in the first place.
Andy Weir made a short story for Amazon in the book "Forward". I am still trying to source it cause it seems like an exclusive to Amazon e-books. Came out on 2021.
