@WrenArcher @MariaLiv I used to work with Andy. He was writing the blog posts that ultimately became "The Martian" while we worked together, and some of our lunchtime chats are baked into that story.
I read "The Egg" at work while he was sitting at the next desk over, and had the pleasure to tell him it was the most beautiful work I'd read. Andy being Andy, he smiled and demurred by explaining it was just an experiment in writing in the second person.
That's always the Andy I think of.
