Project Hail Mary Movie Boosts Andy Weir's Sci-Fi Reads

On March 24th, the new movie adaptation of Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary hit theaters

this week, starring Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, a teacher, turned astronaut on a desperate

mission to stop sun-dimming microbes from wiping out humanity.

He wakes up alone on the ship with Amnesia, piecing together his task while teaming up with

the surprising alien buddy.

Digital libraries are seeing a huge spike in interest, with checkouts of the book jumping

nearly 295% on Libby in the weeks, leading up to the release, compared to last year.

Fans of the story's mix of hard science, humor, and space survival are flocking back to

similar reads, echoing the buzz around Weir's earlier hit, The, Martian, where a stranded

botanist fights to survive on Mars.

For more like it, Tri-Martha Wells is all systems red, featuring a sarcastic security

android called Murderbot, who just wants to binge-shows, or, Liu.

Six sends the three-body problem, about humanity facing an alien invasion after a risky signal

from Earth.

Other great picks include Blake Crouch's Dark Matter for Memory, Twisting Threals

and Octavia Butler's Dawn for Tense Human Alien Alliances, Keeping.
