Notes -
Project Hail Mary is excellent. It's a bit softer than The Martian, but still one of the best hard science fiction novels I have ever read. MC is just Mark Watney with less swearing, but that's OK; I like Watney, and other authors have made a career out of writing the same character over and over again (e.g. Robert Heinlein).
It is, indeed, impossible to talk about without spoilers; MC wakes up in a room with no memory and has to go from there. But if you are OK with spoiling maybe the first fourth of the novel, there is a great review over on /r/rational.
