Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on
Mars.</p>
<p>Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there.</p>

<p>Initial warning: I'm a science nerd. Not that I'm good at science, but I
really enjoy reading about science: Tell me how to split an atom and I get a
boner; show me a path around the space with two slingshots effect and I jizz
in my pants.</p>
<p>That's why I liked this book this much. It is kinda like the movie &quot;The Core&quot;,
but without the bullshit plot and materials and whatnot.</p>
<p>So it seemed, at first, that the book was only about one guy lost in Mars and
his attempts to survive. But the book encompasses a lot more than that.
Without giving too much spoilers here, it explores a bit of science, how the
space companies work, how much work it takes to launch a single rocket and so
on.</p>
<p>As I mentioned, there is a <em>lot</em> of science in the book: How create water, how
to create hydrogen, chemical reactions...</p>
<p>In the end, it is a really good book if you're a nerd.</p>
