My five stars are usually reserved for books with long, profound proses on top of an engaging narrative, but I can't help giving Project Hail Mary a five star. While not exactly ground-breaking literary-wise -- it is a very light read with snappy, comedic back-and-forth -- the themes brought up and executed by this book still left me reeling even weeks after I first read it. Such a positive, optimistic outlook on humanity. I do hope to find more sci-fi like this -- exposing not the worst of humanity, but the best it could possibly be.
