Enam hari yang lalu, astronaut Mark Watney menjadi salah satu orang pertama yang menjejakkan kaki di Mars. Sekarang dia yakin akan menjadi yang pertama mati di sana. Mark ditinggalkan di Mars oleh rekan-rekannya, yang mengira dia tewas ketika terjadi badai pasir. Sekarang dia sendirian, tak punya sarana untuk mengirim sinyal ke Bumi, dan persediaan makanannya sudah pasti akan habis lama sebelum tim penyelamat bisa datang. Tapi Mark belum mau menyerah. Berbekal keterampilan teknis dan kreativitasnya---plus rasa humor yang terbukti menjadi sumber kekuatan terbesarnya---dia memulai misi untuk bertahan hidup, menanam kentang untuk dimakan, dan bahkan menyusun rencana edan untuk menghubungi NASA di Bumi. Rintangan demi rintangan berhasil diatasinya, dan Mark mulai yakin dia bisa keluar dari Mars hidup-hidup---tetapi planet ini ternyata menyimpan banyak kejutan untuknya.

Fun and entertaining.
The Martian by Andy Weir was an absolute joy to consume. I'm a space nerd all the way to my molten core and this thing had me on the edge of my seat. Sometimes I was a step ahead of the plot, but much of the time I wasn't. This is was the perfect balance of detail and accurate science to give me a mental picture and a realistic plot to pull me along. Damnit that was a good book.

This book is an absolutely incredible mix of great storytelling and real science. We need much more of this kind of science fiction and a bit less of the trending dystopian kind.
What are you waiting for? Go read this book. Very engrossing, a lot of fun.

Would have wanted to know more about their return trip to Earth.
Yeah, it's that good. I couldn't put it down.

Good story with a funny protagonist.
Was okay, but some of the writing seemed a bit goofy and unrealistic.
