The Martian: Capsule Review
Oct. 14th, 2015 09:35 amSplendid John W. Campbell Hard (not to say Mundane) SF.
Science (mathematics in particular) gets a very good write up, as does NASA.
If you like fiction that doesn't cheat, and you enjoyed the Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars" sequence, you'll love this.
And Matt Damon is very sweet all the way through.
If I had some more time, I'd talk about how lovely it was to see hard SF done well, and cold hard numbers given their due respect.
If YOU have more time, have a read at this we gem:
