Buckle up, space nerds—this week, we’re launching into Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It’s science, it’s survival, and it’s a lonely man in space with a memory problem and a surprising alien bromance. In true Literature on the Rocks fashion, we break down the plot (yes, even the math-y parts), highlight our favorite moments (hello, Rocky!), and toast to the kind of science fiction that makes you feel all the human things.
Whether you’re here for the existential dread, the interstellar optimism, or just to find out what the heck an Astrophage is, we’ve got you covered—with minimal physics and maximum fun. We also give it our signature rating (one, two, or three shots), and let’s just say… this one might’ve left us floating.
Ready to boldly sip where no reader has sipped before? Let’s go.
