Project Hail Mary (2021 Novel) | Andy Weir Is Our Favorite Science Teacher

Class is back in session, and we're sitting in the front row! In episode 376, join Luke Elliott and James Bailey as they contemplate star-eating bacteria, speculative astrobiology, first-contact communication, locked-room mysteries, the differences between Ryland Grace and Mark Watney as protagonists, a Michael Crichton comparison, and what it would take for the world to come together to face a common problem. Join them again next week when they analyze the film adaptation starring Ryan Gosling!
