So far, at only seven chapters in, I've been finding Project Hail Mary to be an awesome reading experience because it feels like a perfect blend of the Danny Boyle/Alex Garland film, Sunshine, and Crichton's, The Andromeda Strain.
I have been forever hooked to the story concept in the Danny Boyle film, specifically with its sense of a high-stakes, lonely mission into deep space to save a dying sun.
However, instead of leaning into psychological horror, the book grounds itself in the same methodical, scientific problem solving that I loved about Crichton, and put to great effect in The Andromeda Strain.
I'm only several chapters in and I'm loving the book so far.
