Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

So much better than the movie.
Revisado: 10-29-15
Would you consider the audio edition of The Martian to be better than the print version?
I didn't read the print version, but I loved the narration and the fowl language worked very well, adding to the story in my opinion rather than coming across as gratuitous. If I were trapped on a distant planet all by myself, I would waste a lot of time cussing my situation.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Martian?
boobs - lol
Which character – as performed by R. C. Bray – was your favorite?
I loved Annie, as she barged in on every conversation hurling F-bombs.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
absolutely, My G.F and I listened to it in a weekend.

In a world of self-driving cars and big data, smart algorithms and Siri, we know that artificial intelligence is getting smarter every day. Though all these nifty devices and programs might make our lives easier, they're also well on their way to making "good" jobs obsolete. A computer winning Jeopardy might seem like a trivial, if impressive, feat, but the same technology is making paralegals redundant as it undertakes electronic discovery, and is soon to do the same for radiologists.

written by a progressive with an agenda

although I agree that technology may cause widespread unemployment, I doubt that the only solution is having the government pay every person a minimum salary. the author also make wild assumptions about climate change that really have nothing to contribute with the storyline

although the specifics are a bit out of date, the principles remain the same. the book was written after the 2008/9 recession, and references that many times.
