Similar to "The Martian"

I just came across one that is similar in overall structure: due to circumstances beyond his control, a man finds himself in an impossible situation, with only his wits, limited resources, and a dry sense of humor to help him survive. Will he manage it? I found it to be entertaining in a lot of the same ways as The Martian, without duplicating it. I give it two thumbs up!

It's We are Legion (We Are Bob), by Dennis Taylor.

Warning: this one is going to be a series, with the second volume coming out in a couple of months. You can get the first volume here.

I would also recommend going in "blind," and not reading the description first. It gives away too much...
