An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks introduces seven neurological cases that happens to people around the world. Sacks deals with different aspects of the brain, such as, the lobes of the brain, perception, and neurological disorders. One of the cases Sacks mentions is “The Case of the Colorblind Painter”. The case involves an artist who can’t see color due to an accident he encountered. His colorblindness affects his daily life, including his dreams; he doesn’t see a wide range of colors in his life, only what he describes it as “a black and white tv screen”. When I was reading his case, I found it intriguing that one can develop colorblindness from an accident. I always thought that colorblindness was a genetic thing, but the fact that at any given moment, it can activate shows that the brain has more mysterious than intended. The powerful emotional aspect of the case makes it more powerful and shows a deep theme. It makes me realize that I shouldn't take anything for granted because at any given moment, something can be taken away.

This is no exception to The Martian, in which the book was written in 2011 and the movie was released in 2015.
