Something about the question irritates me. Im tired. I drift back to sleep. A few minutes pass, then I hear it again. "Whats two plus two?" The soft, feminine voice lacks emotion and the pronunciation is identical to the previous time she said it. Its a computer. A computer is hassling me. Im even more irritated now. "Lrmln," I say. Im surprised. I meant to say "Leave me alone"--a completely reasonable response in my opinion-- Details ISBN0593135229 Author Andy Weir Short Title Project Hail Mary Pages 496 Language English Year 2022 ISBN-10 0593135229 ISBN-13 9780593135228 Format Paperback Publication Date 2022-10-04 Subtitle A Novel Publisher Random House USA Inc Imprint Ballantine Books Inc.
