Project Hail Mary
by Andy Weir
Published in 2021 (I finished it on November 01, 2021)

Pretty decent novel. It's incredibly creative and of course full of Weir's science and cool information to learn about. It’s got the same humor as "The Martian" too, and sort of another similar situation. But he adds a companion that is, again, wonderfully creative and interesting and humorous. I would recommend it.

I guess what's missing is that it's not a story that stuck with me or caused me to ponder things much afterwards. The great novels are the ones that stick with you even after you've finished reading them.

There is likely a movie coming, which should be fun to see.

So many books … (you know the rest)
