I'm reading a very interesting sci-fi book called "The Martian". It's about an astronaut that gets stranded on Mars after his crew leave him behind, thinking he is dead.
There are lots of technical details included which makes such a scenario plausible and interesting to think about.
... and by read, I mean I'm listening to the audio book. I might download it on the Kindle.
