“Hvis oxygenatoren bryder sammen, bliver jeg kvalt. Hvis vandindvinderen går i stykker, dør jeg af tørst. Hvis Hab’et revner, vil jeg ligesom bare eksplodere. Hvis ingen af disse ting sker, vil jeg på et tidspunkt løbe tør for fødevarer og sulte ihjel. Så ja, jeg er på skideren.”
The Martian er en science fiction bestsellerroman af Andy Weir fra 2011, men det er første gang, bogen er oversat til dansk.
Obwohl ich den Film schon kannte und wusste was passiert war das Hörbuch doch bin zum Ende spannend und fesselnd.
And probably at least semi realistic? Didn't like it as much as Project Hail Mary by the same author. This sorta read as a sequence of "oh crap, another thing went wrong" problems, followed by solutions. I'm certain this is realistic - or even still overly optimistic, given what they were surviving through - but kinda made for an overly long, repetitive narrative. I suspect this is part of why they cut some of these out of the movie (and to save time, but also it got repetitive). Nevertheless, a fun read if you enjoy sci-fi that sticks close to contemporary science.
Really intriguing tech short story. Read it twice.
Really enjoyed this book. The presentation was interesting, it had a good sense of humor, and definitely kept my attention. I really enjoy science fiction that focuses on the science part, and this fit the bill. Definitely would recommend.
Very, very fun book. The XKCD about this book is so accurate. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could.
