William Saeednia-Rankin asked Andy Weir:

While reading "The Martian" I appreciated the great mix of puzzle solving and humour. It reminded me of Isaac Asimov, I was wondering if you would consider Dr. Asimov as an influence? PS. Thanks for a great book - I'm looking forward to your next!

Andy Weir Yes, definitely. In fact, Isaac Asimov is my favorite writer.
