The Martian, is the most accessible and interesting “hard sci fi” I’ve read. The RC Bray narrated version is excellent (and I think delisted). Otherwise, that’s your search term. I’m interested in more recommendations too some times the story is lacking in this genre.

Side note: very interesting writing process for the Martian, as I remember it, he developed it chapter by chapter with his readers who would critique it on his blog. Later books were not as good (after he was famous) but project Hail Mary was a turn around.
