I’m stranded on Mars.
I have no way to communicate with Earth.
If the Oxygenator breaks down, I'll suffocate.
If the Water Reclaimer breaks down, I'll die of thirst.
If the Habitat breaches, I'll just kind of explode.
If none of those things happen, I'll eventually
run out of food and starve to death.
I'm screwed.

Yeah, it's good. One of the all-time great book covers. Starts to drag like the last fifth.
This book was absolutely amazing! Best thing I've read this year. Perhaps the best sci-fi I've ever read. This kind of reading restores your faith in humanity.
This was a fun, quick read. And funny, oddly enough. The brutal optimism of the protagonist was kind of contagious, and he reminded me of several of my favorite friends in various ways. A good summer read.
