As a fan of the book, Project Hail Mary was great. I loved that it stayed so close to the book, even for the ending.

But the story has aged quite badly. The world coming together to solve a problem for humanity seems so far fetched nowadays.

We would be waging wars about Astrophage, trying to exploit it financially as much as possible before the sun dies.

@bastianallgeier if you want SciFi based on that but with a silver lining, try The Bobbiverse

@bastianallgeier We live in an era of decline and incompetence.

Depending on politics of the era a potential global killer happened in, it really could go either way.

@bastianallgeier@bastianallgeier I was disappointed by the movie. I bought the book three days before the movie had been available in the cinemas, and I truly loved it. I was pumped for the movie but then disappointed; nearly the whole movie was like a comedy. They left out a lot of things which created mystery, drama, and tension. And I was surprised how people who didn't read the book were able to follow up on things on a big screen. I would be confused without prior reading of the book
