I really enjoyed that book and the whole “alone in space” vibe it gives off. Are there any more like it?

EDIT: Jeez i can’t reply to you all. I wish there was a way to compile all your suggestions into a Goodreads list, these all sound awesome!

    The Three Body problem is a bit more science fiction-y but it has a similar type of pull that The Martian or Project Hail Mary has. Hard to stop once you start.

    Also anything by Neal Stephenson would be appropriate. Particularly Seveneves or Snowcrash.

      I would say it’s more of a “space opera” than science fiction, and I didn’t find the writing itself nearly as engaging or good.

        I’ve never heard the term “space opera” before, but I like it!
