The bestseller behind the major film from Ridley Scott, starring Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain.
I'm stranded on Mars.
I have no way to communicate with Earth.
I'm in a Habitat designed to last 31 days.
If the Oxygenator breaks down, I'll suffocate. If the Water Reclaimer breaks down, I'll die of thirst. If the Hab breaches, I'll just kind of explode. If none of those things happen, I'll eventually run out of food and starve to death.
So yeah. I'm screwed.

Best. Book. Ever.
Words cannot express how much I love this book- written any other way it could have been so dry and dull. The science of space travel and survival is explained so well, and Watney's sarcastic wit and pop-culture references make it a dream to read.
