Having read both, The Martian was very much a book I just simply put down (I lost so many hours of sleep because of it) whereas this one seemed decent.

If you liked the Martian, you’ll like this one probably. There definitely was some weak moments, and the science portion, while crunchy sometimes, didn’t hold up consistently.

Worth a read.

I still use Reddit for the small subreddits. Highly focused topics seems to be the only way Reddit is tolerable now.

I also just picked up reading again. Turns out part of my enjoyment of Reddit was reading comments and when that went to shit just reading books worked out for me. On my third book since the fiasco started.

Reasonable skepticism. I appreciate you.

I think there’s a lot of people who got turned off from commenting.

It was so easy to gain the attention of some deranged Redditor when you commented, it was often just not worth it. Maybe that mindset came here and people are still warming up to the idea.
