Artemis

By Andy Weir

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the renowned author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian comes a “propulsive” (NPR) tale of science, suspense, and humor—a heist story set on the moon. “An action-packed techno-thriller of the first order.”—USA Today Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich. Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time. So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no. But engineering the perfect crime is just the start of her problems—because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis herself. Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, she’ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city. Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal. That’ll have to do.

Good page turner with a badass (and asshole-ish) female narrator and lots of technical details about life on the moon. Definitely kept my interest, but didn't really expand my understanding of humanity. The writing makes it easy to see the "mental movie" as you read!

Despite all the negative reviews, I enjoyed this. Would I have made the choices that Jazz did? No. But that is what made this interesting..seeing what a person very different from me would do in a situation I'll never face. Plus, I'm a science nerd, and the moon fascinates me.

Me encanto la ciencia detras de este libro , de verdad lo recomiendo a los apasionados por todas las cosas que van mas alla de lo que podemos ver aca en la tierra. fue un poco confuso que una simple contrabandista supiera tanto de fisica y quimica y uf.. y que utilizara un lenguaje tan vulgar y se comportara como un hombre en algunas situaciones pero lejos de eso disfrute el libro

While not quite as engaging as Project Hail Mary, this space tale was a good one!
