Mark Watney is left on Mars by himself due to a dust storm. For the next 550 sols, he has to find ways to survive, solving problems, beating the odds, being healthy and positive. Luckily, Watney is a resourceful and creative man, and he has whole world at his back.

Mark Watney is a Crusoe of the future, and the book is a science fiction of the future too. Lavish in meticulous technical details without losing the pace of story narrative, even for me, as a mostly non-fiction reader, find the book intriguing and inspiring.
