Project Hail Mary

by Andy Weir

So I’m a single man in my thirties, who lives alone in a small apartment, I don’t have any kids, but I like kids a lot. I don’t like where this is going… A teacher! I’m a schoolteacher! I remember it now! Oh, thank God. I’m a teacher.

Maybe that ship is the Praise Allah or the Blessings of Vishnu or something.
