andy weir saying his writing has no politics or social commentary in it as if in PHM the earth isn’t facing a climate catastrophe for which the proposed solution is to strip an underpaid public sector employee of his autonomy and cost him his life. no politics, but they blow up antarctica to speed up the effects of climate change because international powers won’t share resources and people will starve otherwise. no politics, but the success of the mission relies entirely on intercultural exchange at a time when tribalism and violent, isolationist nationalism are on the rise. no politics, but the project is headed by a woman who will become the internationally despised scapegoat in her mission to save the planet. like. are you serious dude.
