This is awesome!! I made a map of the events in the Martian many years ago (https://www.cannonade.net/mars.php) and when I read Hail Mary I wondered if something could be created for the new book.

You completely nailed it!! :)

I agree with everything in this post. I rarely use my laptop as a laptop.

I stick it on my stand and plug in my Vortex Race3 and wait for Apple to make a laptop that doesn't suck.

Yep. I have been working on mapping the Patrick O'Brian age of sail novels for the last 11 years.

Not sure if he has ever had plans to sell the game. I think it is mostly a fun (and epic) project to work on.
