Andy Weir became famous due to instant success of Martian (both the novel and Matt Daemon Movie). Internet is opinionated about Andy because he is only good at one type of Sci Fi story and writing is sometimes cringy. If you have not read any of his novels, read Martian and Project Hail Mary. If you have, don't read Artemis because it is not worth it. #1 Martian Movie is great, novel is.... better. #2 Project Hail Mary Novel is good, movie in production. And let me repeat, Artemis is a flop.

Readers are trained by Facebook, Twitter or TikTok to consume information fast, not accurate. So a lot of people don't read proofs or have their own ways to verify, and take and spread the information as is. Even more prolematic is people who spread false information has lots their time doing this, while true scientists, doctors, climate researchers are too busy working on actual ways to save lives of people or fight the climate change. They don't always have enough time to educate mass people wha...
