I think another overused trope is that of the overwhelming threat to the world is coming so the people of the world band together for the good of the planet. This would never, ever, never happen. It's not human nature and pushes science fiction into science fantasy, yet so many books and movies use this trope.

I loved this book. The best of Andy Weir's work, IMO. My favorite? The development of a shared vocabulary between Rocky and Ryland.
