About this ebook
The Martian: A Novel by Andy Weir | Conversation Starters
A Brief Look Inside:
ANDY WEIR'S THE MARTIAN begins when astronaut Mark Watney finds himself stranded on Mars
after an accident with an antenna caused his fellow crew
to believe he had died, and they left Mars not knowing that he was still alive.
The accident caused his bio-monitor computer to break, and he is left with only
The Hab, hydrazine, a generator, and potatoes to keep him alive.
Watney, described as a “competent man,” is not the type of person to give up so easily, however.
He quickly finds a way to grow potatoes in The Hab using hydrazine to create water.
Eventually, NASA realizes that Watney is still alive after seeing pictures of him on Mars.
They scramble to find a way to safely return Watney home...
