"the Martian"

There is one big cheat in the first 60 pages of Andy Weir's novel "The Martian", but I'm enjoying the tale nonetheless. I do wonder how the movie will handle all the science/tech stuff. It'll probably toss most of it out. Its director is Ridley Scott, who produced the miniseries remake of "The Andromeda Strain", from which all the scientific inquiry had been tossed out.
