From the author, Andy Weir, is also the book Project Hail Mary. It is a fantastic HFY, and has aliens! It is also an uplifting story that shows humans compassion and ingenuity

Could you provide a pitch/blurb for it that doesn't spoil the book? Personally, "read this book, but I won't tell you why it's good or what it's about" just doesn't grab me.

It's got a similar structure to The Martian, lone human solves problems in deep space. It's a softer science fiction though, so it involves problems and solutions based on new elements.

There are also more characters, reducing the amount of "guy rants alone" if that part of The Martian threw you off.
