Artemis by Andy Weir

"Artemis" is a science fiction novel written by Andy Weir, the author of the bestselling book "The Martian." Released in 2017, "Artemis" is set on the Moon and follows the story of Jasmine "Jazz" Bashara, a young smuggler who becomes involved in a high-stakes heist.

The novel takes place in the near future, where humans have established a small city called Artemis on the Moon. Jazz, a talented but struggling porter, dreams of making it big in the lunar city. When she is offered an opportunity to participate in a lucrative criminal scheme, she sees it as her chance to escape her mundane life and gain financial independence.

However, Jazz soon finds herself embroiled in a conspiracy that goes beyond the heist itself. As she navigates the dangerous lunar environment and encounters various characters, she becomes entangled in a web of political intrigue and corporate power struggles.

Similar to Weir's previous work, "Artemis" incorporates scientific accuracy and detailed world-building. The author explores the challenges of living on the Moon, from the low gravity to the need for artificial habitats and suits to survive. Weir's meticulous research and technical explanations lend an authentic and immersive feel to the story.

"Artemis" is a fast-paced, suspenseful novel that combines elements of adventure, heist, and science fiction. It explores themes of ambition, greed, and the consequences of our actions. While not as critically acclaimed as "The Martian," "Artemis" offers an entertaining and engaging read for fans of Weir's style and those interested in space exploration and colonization.
