Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary follows Ryland Grace, a lone astronaut who wakes up aboard a spaceship with no memory of how he got there. As he pieces together his past, he realises he’s on a last-ditch mission to save humanity from an existential threat.
This book is packed with science, problem-solving, and wry humour which only veers into Millennial Internet Speak (think: "Did that just happen!?") occasionally.
Some of the technical explanations got a bit dense for me (I zoned out during those bits tbh), but the story moves fast, and the surprises along the way keep things exciting. Plus, there's an unexpected friendship at the heart of it that makes the whole journey even more special. I really enjoyed this!
Overall, a really fun and clever sci-fi read! A little heavy on the science at times for me personally, but totally worth it.
