We love Andy Weir. We love The Martian. We even made a fan-girl stop motion tribute video to main character Mark Watney. So when RIF’s Papercuts video team ran into Andy at 2016’s Comic-Con International in San Diego, we had to stop and ask him a few questions.

Watch below as Andy Weir tells us about the book he loves to give as a gift, the word he uses way too often and the book everyone needs to read ASAP.
