Andy Weir is not a good writer. Characters are all interchangeable and quirky because he says so. The science is tacked on like a chemistry teacher putting their kids to bed. The plot moves forward mostly to demonstrate engineering capability of the protagonist, rather than events in the wider world prompting the character.
