📕 Project Hail Mary
This week I binged my way through the audiobook for Andy Weir’s latest book, Project Hail Mary. If you liked The Martian, you’ll love this. A hard science fiction space drama filled with science puzzles and challenges as well as relatable characters. The things I share below are related, but shouldn’t be too much as far as spoilers go.

🧗🏻 Normalizers
“Human beings have a remarkable ability to accept the abnormal and make it normal.”
― Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary
