Daniel Suarez — Influx — What if human civilization is more advanced than you know? In his latest SF thriller, New York Times-bestselling author, Daniel Suarez, depicts a world where the future has already happened… Imagine that scientists and researchers have already achieved major tech breakthroughs that could transform billions of lives­ but it’s in a world where the open exchange of ideas is viewed as dangerous and major tech advances are carefully managed. All to prevent the social disruption that radically new technologies bring…

Andy Weir — The Martian — Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there… After a dust storm nearly kills him, and his crew evacuates thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded, with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive­ and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive…but Mark isn’t ready to give up yet.
