Andy Weir’s The Martian is considered by many to be the gold standard of hard sci-fi. The story of astronaut Mark Watney stranded on Mars is so beloved by fans of the genre because Weir uses accurate science as a driving force of the narrative. Rather than space opera theatrics or sci-fi fantasy heroism, Watney survives through relentless and meticulous problem-solving. The technology, physics, and scientific methods in The Martian are so grounded that Weir makes the extraordinary feel plausible.
