Bruce Di Quinzio
Bruce Di Quinzio asked Andy Weir:

How long did it take you to complete ''The Martian'', and what inspired you to write the book? Thank you and I wish you all the success you deserve. I also wanted to mention that I realy enjoyed your short story; ''The Egg'' Congratulations!

Andy
Andy asked Andy Weir:

Early in the novel, Mark reflects on his student days, poking fun at what he calls the hippies studying botany, yet he recognizes he's now doing what they were obsessed with, but for quite different reasons. Would you please talk a bit about how Mark's reflection reveals things about how we imagine technology and ecology together?

Beverly
Beverly asked Andy Weir:

I loved "The Martian" because it embodied what I think the term "Science Fiction" really means. Will your next novel also be a blend of science and fiction?
