2023, book 14: The Martian, Andy Weir

Jules Verne meets Douglas Coupland.

Enjoyable enough, if a bit scientifically rushed at times. I would have enjoyed more Verne-like geeking out over how things work, exactly. Some weirdly pathetic attempts at fleshing out characters (Martinez being Christian, Beck and Johanssen getting it on) that are unnecessary and detract rather than add.

Kinda want to see the film now.
