Top Retellings of Classic Tales
Felix
Felix asked Andy Weir:

I loved the technical accuracy in your book. Was there anything you wanted to include, but couldn´t, either because of it being unrealistic or because you couldn´t find out enough about it?

Andy Weir I can't think of anything. Probably because I started with the tech and worked forward to make a story, not the other way around.

A.D. Davies asked Andy Weir:

How much of the intricate research did you already possess, and how much did you need to conduct for each of those beats? And where did you get the info from?

Greg Doll asked Andy Weir:

I really enjoyed the style and pace of "the Martian". What's next?

Mike Nemeth
Mike Nemeth asked Andy Weir:

Andy, your book stuck with me, mainly for its stark realism. This is not John Carter's Mars. You appear to have inside information. I'm wondering after seeing the NBC News story on Alyssa Carlson, the 13-year-old who wants to go to the red planet, do you think she'll make it? That would be another 10-13 years from now.
