12 Sci-Fi Books to Read If You Love ‘Project Hail Mary’

“Amaze amaze amaze!”

I’ve been in a Project Hail Mary fever since the movie’s release! I loved the book, and I thought it’s a fantastic adaptation for the screen (check out this cool display I visited!). The characters are perfectly rendered, the movie retains the book’s emotional core, and I love that they kept the original ending intact. It’s a beautiful, whimsical, life-affirming movie that many have termed #hopecore. And you know what? I love my dark horror stories, but sometimes I need a little light too.

So if you love Project Hail Mary (and if you’ve enjoyed the book), here are 12 books that you can read next!
