I can't see any questions coming up! This isn't a question, just to say I got your book on Kindle and I loved it so much I bought a hard copy so all my family can read it too. It's the best hard sci fi I've read in a very long time and I love the character of your narrator. Did you expect the story to be so successful?
Andy Weir
Thanks! No, I had no idea it would get this popular. I wrote it as a serial for my website readers, which is about 3000 people. I never expected anyone outside that core group would ever even hear about it, let alone like it.

Andy Weir:
Early in the novel, Mark reflects on his student days, poking fun at what he calls the hippies studying botany, yet he recognizes he's now doing what they were obsessed with, but for quite different reasons. Would you please talk a bit about how Mark's reflection reveals things about how we imagine technology and ecology together?
