there is no point in the martian where i thought matt damon was in any danger at all in fact it seemed like he was really enjoying his time on mars and very pleased with himself.

gary oldmans diary posted:2 years ago was a very different time. people alive today could never understand what it was like also lol yeah space and engineering pursuits were cool in the media a few years ago and now they’re just another example of evil men running the world and now they want to run space too!!1 white flight! neo manifest destiny! space colonialism by powerful white men! totally ignoring all the women/other cultures and countries in the field and dissuading future women from joining, exacerbating the problem rather than helping it

Good Soldier Svejk posted:The pacing of the book was really (forgive the technical term) hosed up. Like it definitely had a movie sort of layout but the author also had this compulsion to just do the: present new set piece -> introduce problem -> protagonists cleverly finds a solution. i mean yeah, you're right, but also the writing was flat and boring. it was like a 300 page math story problem where the author showed his work.

hot cocoa on the couch posted:the book definitely read like it was written by a programmer with two engineers as parents, and I honestly have no idea how it got so popular so fast. I mean I loved it, but I’m a space nerd/engineer who builds rockets so I’m kind of the target audience. but i don’t understand how normies even got through all the science speak and poo poo to enjoy the story You're not really the target audience. The target audience is dweebs who think 10000 hours of watching the Cosmos reboot and reading XKCD will make you an astrophysicist.

Wait so the engineer admits that the book is silly, but they like it. This perpetuates the "stereotype of engineers not knowing poo poo about science and are just a bunch of wannabes?" Were you bullied by an engineer?
