Joao asked Andy Weir:

Hi Andy, first of all loved 'The Martian'! Congratulations on the success of the book :) Can we expect a new work from you with this type of technical depth? Any thought on what you're working next? Thank you

Andy Weir I will probably write another highly-technical book in the future, but my next project is more traditional sci-fi. See this question for info: https://www.goodreads.com/questions/2...

Did you make any of the science in the book up? As in, he really couldn't make water but you let it pass anyway so that the story would be better?

Giuseppe Vella asked Andy Weir:

Will you write a follow-up to The Martian? Sort of like your own "Martian Chronicles"?

Lorraine asked Andy Weir:

When writing this great book, did you know how it would end, how he would get rescued, as you wrote it, or did it develop during the writing process? Will you make sure the movie stats true to the book?
