Project Hail Mary

I'm not a sci-fi lover at all but what a book from Andy Weir!

I loved The Martian for all the scientific references but with Project Hail Mary we are on an another level. Especially the ones with a STEM background will appreciate all the math, experiments and science facts.

The plot then is really intriguing: Ryland Grace, an high school science professor, wakes up in a spaceship in another star system and the rest of the crew is death. He's experiencing amnesia so he doesn't remember why he is there and what's the mission. With some flashbacks he starts to remember something: he have to save the solar system from a micro organism called Astrophage which is essentially eating the sun.

The plot twist occurs at a third of the book when Grace meet a friend who is trying to accomplish the same mission. I'll stop here.

It's difficult to explain why to read this book without any spoiler but, trust me, it is definitely worth reading.

p.s. Ryan Gosling is already writing the screenplay of what could be one of the best sci-fi movies of all time.
