This was awful, like Weir was two weeks into Intro to Philosophy 101 but hadn't been paying attention that much, while also being two weeks into Intro to Creative Writing 101 and the syllabus hadn't quite gotten to the parts about the importance of characterization, plot, and subtext. Plus it's in second person.
Pretentious, unoriginal, and boring.

About the Author:
ANDY WEIR built a two-decade career as a software engineer until the success of his first published novel, The Martian, allowed him to live out his dream of writing full-time.
He is a lifelong space nerd and a devoted hobbyist of such subjects as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. He also mixes a mean cocktail.
