Andy Weir’s books are full of hope, but I doubt whether the world’s nations could come together to save an astronaut on Mars like Watney or provide sanctuary for an alien like Erid did for Grace.

It rather depends upon whether the alien is a scumbag refugee or a billionaire.

@cmconseils Concerning this I find Daniel #Suarez much more realistic than #Weir 🙁

@cmconseils Oh, real life Mark Watney would be *super* dead.

@cmconseils That's why such books are so enjoyable. They present an alternate timeline where humanity isn't a cesspool.

We get enough reality in reality. That's why I hate stuff like The Expanse. Neat stuff may be going on, but I'm just so tired of the grittiness. There's enough of that IRL and sometimes I just want to forget for a few moments.
