Chuck Wendig: THE MARTIAN, except Matt Damon plays some junior tech bro using a Martian WeWork space who gets left on Mars when his Orbital Cybertruck takes off without him, and he can’t grow potatoes because he doesn’t know how to do anything except AI prompts; he dies rage-tweeting into the blackness of space

TIL that WeWork’s Adam Neumann met with Elon Musk to consult about WeWork office space on Mars. Lol. Looooooooooool

At the end the test supervisors open the simulator and drag out the body, complaining that's the sixth one they've lost this week.

It’s not that he doesn’t know HOW to grow potatoes, it’s that all agriculture on Mars has DRM, and he doesn’t have the correct license key (his firm was unable to afford “Ag Worker” access permissions for everyone). Thus, the potatoes never sprout.

This is sadly probably more realistic at this point than the story of the world working together to save him. :(
