“Being stupid isn’t permanent.”
I’m late to the party, but I’m glad I came because Project Hail Mary is a good time.
There’s been a steady string of real sciencey sci-fi stories about Astronaut scientists in the last 15 years. Andy Weir publishes The Martian. Alfonso Cuarón makes Gravity. The brothers Nolan write and release Interstellar. Andy Weir publishes Project Hail Mary. Martin MacInnes published In Ascension. It’s a good time to be a geek for space.
I’m curious about how they’ll adapt this for the screen. I imagine the first third of the book will be heavily abridged. The real meat and potato from a tube kicks in later with a bit of tedium around the 90% mark.
The narrator of the audiobook sounds like the narrator of A Christmas Story and I couldn’t shake that for most of the book. He did a great job with the script though.
Good book!
