Are there any sci-fi books that justify events at the level of The Martian?

Question

Books

I have been reading fantasy for many years. From "The Martian" Weir was delighted, because for the first time after "The Secret of the Two Oceans", "The Lost World" and "Sannikov's Land" (read at an early school age) he came across a book in which he could not find any scientific mistakes at the first reading , no "artifacts" that solve all the problems with physics / biology / common sense.
Q: What other sci-fi books are out there that actually have a lot of adequate science in them? First of all, they are interested in books with an emphasis on physics, astronomy, biology, geology, engineering, programming - in general, not on social sciences (for this reason, the Strugatskys, Efremov and Heinlein do not fit the criteria, who, with common sense, generally speaking, everything is fine.

Answer 1

In general, a little out of the box, but not so long ago, Comrade Yudkovsky finished writing "his version" of Harry Potter - Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality ( Harry Potter and Methods of Rationality ). It started out as a harmless fanfiction, but eventually turned into a huge book. There is not a huge amount of science there, but it is there. There is logic, rationality and the absence of pianos in the bushes.
So I can recommend her. It is interesting to read, and in some places even funny, as there are a lot of references to the original with a hint of some nonsense.

Answer 2

There is such an author Andrzej Yasinsky. In general, he is a programmer, but he wrote a series of articles in the fantasy genre. As you know, there is little real science there, but he describes magical science very scrupulously. Why do I recommend this to you? Firstly, he describes everything very logically, there are few mistakes. Second, he describes magic as programming. But there is also a minus, in places the books are incredibly boring)

Answer 3

Nikolai Gorkavy "The Astrovitian"

Answer 4

It is the matter of time. In his time, Herbert Wells seemed very reliable. Time passes and science fiction becomes obsolete. So you need to look for something relatively fresh. I can’t say that everything in the Martian is reliable to the end, but it is very plausible. There is also the question of your level of education in a particular area, where I do not see mistakes, you will find it and vice versa.
I like very much the following authors: Lukyanenko (not all, the best are the Cripples), Heinlein (almost all, you should especially like "Stepsons of the Universe", "The Moon Hardly Lays", "The Door to Summer"), the Strugatskys (Roadside Picnic, Difficult be a god)

Answer 5

Pavel Shumil writes very well in this regard, for example, "Transfer me through the Maidan", you can feel the techie spirit.

Answer 6

From the classics - Arthur C. Clarke. Some books by Stanislav Lem, for example, "Invincible".
Of the modern examples of "solid" SF, "False Blindness" by Peter Watts is considered to be a brilliant example.

Answer 7

I do not close the question, but suddenly I myself remembered another book that fits the criterion of "a lot of real science": "Contact" by Carl Sagan.

Answer 8

Charles Strauss, Sky of the Singularity. I read it a long time ago and I don’t remember the details, but I definitely liked it. The second part is much sadder

Answer 9

Books by Greg Egan. True, not all of them have been translated into Russian.
