Crowdfunding for Writing a Book!
Actually, this is not just about playing with copying chapters as a gimmick.
What many people don't know is that, in a way, the original novel "The Martian" actually involved elements of crowdfunding in its writing.
The author Andy Weir is a tech-geek.
He would propose actual problems that might occur on Mars based on the existing conditions of Mars, and then come up with solutions for each problem.
This extreme pursuit of realism even influenced the structure of his work.
You'll find:
Every time the protagonist in his novels encounters a problem, the development usually follows this routine:
First, analyze and hypothesize;
Then, validate on a small scale;
Next, confirm the plan;
Finally, implement it!
That's why everyone feels that every detail in the novel is incredibly realistic. This reachable sense of realism is also the most enchanting aspect of this novel.
But this is not all the author's own merit.
