Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

We had a pretty good turnout for our first book of the month vote. To be honest I did not anticipate the problem of there being a tie. I took the liberty of flipping a coin which came out heads for Project Hail Mary. In the future I might have to come up with a better method of tie breaking. I’m figuring this out as I go and it is all just for the fun of it anyway so please don’t take this too seriously.

I intend to read this book over the month of September and then near the end of the month I will create a discussion thread for it where people can discuss it without worrying about spoilers. Follow along if you want to.

    I don’t know. Am i crazy for feeling like Weir is just rewriting The Martian (again)? Another engineer survivor porn story where the very smart man needs to very smart man way out of the escape room.

      It didn’t feel like a rewrite, it felt like just a story set in that writing style. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the dialogue and attention to detail is great.

        Mhm. He very obviously has a style and voice that he enjoys and works well for him. At this point if I’m reading a Weir book it’s because that’s the vibe I want
