Man, the Martian was fun. Also, it had a really good film adaptation which is even more surprising given how easy to ruin the subject matter is... I think there was an xkcd about that.

What is prometheus rising about?

I enjoyed the movie a lot as well.

Prometheus Rising takes a look at a whole pile of things in an attempt to find out more about how the mind works. He looks at ideas from Timothy Leary's eight neurological circuits, to Yoga disciplines, to relativity and quantum mechanics.

I'm still very early in the book and I have had a whole lot to think about!
