ANDY WEIR built a two-decade career as a software engineer until the success of his first published novel, The Martian, allowed him to live out his dream of writing full-time. He is a lifelong space nerd and a devoted hobbyist of such subjects as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. He also mixes a mean cocktail. He lives in California.

If the Water Reclaimer breaks down, Ill die of thirst. If the Hab breaches, Ill just kind of explode. If none of those things happen, Ill eventually run out of food and starve to death.
