Andy Weir recommends

Atmosphere (2025)
Taylor Jenkins Reid
"NASA? Space missions? The '80s? This is a collection of all the things I love. . . . Great story, excellent research and accuracy, and a thrilling conclusion."

Upgrade (2022)
Blake Crouch
"Imaginative, perfectly paced, and extremely clever, Upgrade walks the fine line between page-turning thriller and smart sci-fi. Another killer read from Blake."
