How am I halfway into this book already!? Btw, I love the way Andy Weir writes scientists. His scientists actually talk about science! (Yes, I'm looking at you Elizabeth Zott!)

"You knew this when you left Earth, question?"
"Yes."
"You are good human."
Yes, I am crying.

Spoiler. Ryland meets a friendly alien, who's also really smart (they have tech to space-travel, duh!). Imagine, you met sapient alien life. How would you go about learning about them and telling them about you so you can solve your common problem (your suns being eaten up by microbes)? What biases about how sapient life and how it works would you have to challenge? This is what Weir explores here, and it's amazing!
