I really enjoyed that book and the whole “alone in space” vibe it gives off. Are there any more like it?

EDIT: Jeez i can’t reply to you all. I wish there was a way to compile all your suggestions into a Goodreads list, these all sound awesome!

    Endurance is an older nonfiction book from the 1960s about a ship that gets stuck in Antarctica. Despite sounding nothing like The Martian, it’s very similar - they’re both wholesome survival stories that focus on the “how”, rather than the “drama”.

      Didn’t expect Endurance to show up as a recommendation here, but you are absolutely right. Haven’t reflected on the similarities between the two but I loved every bit of both!
