If the recent film of this book is designed to seem like the dramatisation of a real event, then this would be the technical transcript (including all the amusing unofficial parts). If you're looking for grand heroics or epic planetary vistas, you're in the wrong place. But instead you get an extremely detailed and realistic account of exactly what knowledge, ingenuity and resilience it would take to survive being left behind on Mars.
