Thw wonderful writer who is Andy Weir.

Absolutely love this writer. He is inventive and incredibly thought provoking. I started with The Martian which I have read at least 15 times. Must be the hilarious narration by Wil Wheaton.

Loved it!

I absolutely loved all of the stories. I found the end of each surprising & will be listening again. Absolutely worth a listen. The narrators were great. Had never heard of or read anything by Andy Weir prior, but will definitely be looking for more of his work.

Best collection of short stories by one author

Short story collections can be pretty patchy but this one was consistent with its quality. Not one dud story.

Where do ideas come from?

This is like a workbook of Weir’s ideas. Love it! These are small, pithy and thoughtful looks at humanity.
