Publisher Description
_________________________
A survival story for the 21st century and the international bestseller behind the major film from Ridley Scott, starring Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain.
I'm stranded on Mars.
I have no way to communicate with Earth.
I'm in a habitat designed to last 31 days.
If the oxygenator breaks down, I'll suffocate. If the water reclaimer breaks down, I'll die of thirst. If the hab breaches, I'll just kind of explode. If none of those things happen, I'll eventually run out of food and starve to death.
So yeah. I'm screwed.
Andy Weir's second novel Artemis is now available, and his latest novel Project Hail Mary is now available for preorder.

Customer Reviews
one of the best book ever written
the language is carefully chosen throughout the book, and the story really flows and slots into place as you continue to read. i'm not even that into reading, and this book is the only one that really captivated me and brought me down to pure emotion 🥹 this is a modern classic, up to the standards of harry potter, little women, etc.
i read this back in 2015 and thought i would revisit it, paperback, ebook, there's no difference it's just as satisfying to read either way
if you're wondering about purchasing this, you will not regret spending a single dime on this.
A good read
A good story to imagine being stuck on Mars. However, although I appreciate the need to attempt scientific accuracy, I feel this overwhelms the actual story. Far too much detail about one decompression or another, not enough detail about what it’s actually like out there.
Brilliant
Never mind the film, this is unstoppable reading.
