The Martian Guy gets left behind on Mars and MacGyvers his way to safety. This was the most fun I’ve had reading sci fi in years. It’s set in a near future based on plausible advances in science and technology, and the characters feel like normal people. It doesn’t ask for any outsized mental stretching. It feels like hanging out with Dave who worked as a shop foreman for my parents. I loved Dave. And I loved this book. Mark Watney’s goofiness can be a bit over the top sometimes, but better that than being stuck alone on Mars for a year with some dour grump. And he’s high agency, so it’s easy enough to forgive. The book has some flavor of Endurance and Robinson Crusoe, but it’s also kind of like a @smartereveryday series about getting stuck on Mars. It’s a great survival narrative. It’s got just enough science and technology to give it an authentic and immediate feeling without ever getting bogged down. Highly recommended by my 6yo and me. Feels like canonical sci fi.

Near-term changes to help Farcaster grow Everything below will help make it easier for people who hear about Farcaster to get started as quickly as possible and hopefully stick around. 1. Likely rebranding Warpcast to Farcaster; no final decision and if/when that's made we will have a clear public plan / communication 2. Base is launching a Farcaster feed in Coinbase Wallet to their millions of existing users 3. Improving cross-client and web client UX for Sign in with Farcaster and mini apps through "auth addresses"; for the average user that don't need to know anything about this other than they won't be constantly prompted to open their phone when using mini apps 4. Sign ups for most people will be free 5. Post sign up, helping new users get the most relevant feed based on their interests; we will also help them fund their wallet 6. Better sharing for mini apps — links that render nicely on other social media and in messaging apps, automatic deeplinking into apps 7. Warpcast Wallet on web

It's interesting how AI is changing the game on old concerns around legalese.
