How to Mars is Andy Weirs The Martian infused with poetry. Booklist
What happens when your dream mission to Mars is a reality television nightmare? This debut science-fiction romp with heart that follows the tradition of Ray Bradburys Martian Chronicles, with a hints of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the Real World, and Mythbusters.
For the six lucky scientists selected by the Destination Mars! corporation, a one-way ticket to Marsin exchange for a lifetime of researchwas an absolute no-brainer. The incredible opportunity was clearly worth even the most absurdly tedious screening process. Perhaps worth following the strange protocols in a nonsensical handbook written by an eccentric billionaire. Possibly even worth their constant surveillance, the video of which is carefully edited into a ratings-bonanza back on Earth.
But it turns out that after a while even scientists can get bored of science. Tempers begin to fray; unsanctioned affairs blossom. When perfectly good equipment begins to fail, the Marsonauts are faced with a possibility that their training just cannot explain.
Irreverent, poignant, and perfectly weird, David Ebenbachs exciting debut science-fiction outing, like a mission to Mars, is an incredible trip you will never forget. A witty, topical novel skewering space exploration in the age of reality TV. Six erstwhile scientist-astronauts discover that winning the race to Mars is not the prize theyd imaginedbut there may be something much more rewarding if they can just keep from tearing each other apart
Appeals strongly to fans of humorous science fiction movies like Galaxy Quest; pop culture television series like Star Trek and Space Force; and technothrillers like The Martian
