What fantasy creature is the most believable to you?

I finished reading Andy Weir’s most recent novel . . . and loved it! After The Martian, and then Artemis, he finagled his way onto my list of authors that I’ll read whatever they write. Project Hail Mary further solidified his inclusion. I highly recommend giving it a read, or you can wait to watch the movie adaptation that I hear is already in the works. While spared 100 pages focused solely on potatoes, like in The Martian, Andy did introduce us to another lonesome astronaut. Until, that is, an alien enters the story. Don’t worry, that’s not exactly a spoiler; it’s hinted at right on the novel’s jacket. This alien is astounding! The detail Weir supplies—not only in appearance, but of biology, culture, communication, etc.—makes this fantasy creature more realistic than any other I’ve read about or seen on film. My favorite part of the novel, though, has to be the message Weir leaves us with. Without giving anything away, I’ll summarize by saying that which verbal language we use to communicate with is essentially meaningless. Science and math—those prove to be the two true universal languages.

  1. I have watched all the Marvel movies at least once if not two or more times. Iron Man and some of the other super hero’s is very real to me. At least I wish they were real. Maybe they could save this mess of a world.
