Project Hail Mary

by Andy Weir

There’s one in each arm, one in each leg, one in my “gentlemen’s equipment,” and two that disappear under my thigh. I’m guessing one of them is up where the sun doesn’t shine.

Cringingly immature and unfunny. This section alone revealed to me what the tone of the entire book was going to be and I was not wrong in that assumption.

take a deep breath and speak slowly. “Two times e to the two-i-pi.” “Incorrect. What’s the cube root of eight?” But I wasn’t incorrect. I just wanted to see how smart the computer was. Answer: not very.

"Oh, I have this very esoteric way of solving this in order to seem really smart. Everyone will think I'm so clever." Which is funny because I'm pretty sure the word "esoteric" was used incorrectly later in the book.
