Title: Artemis
Author: Andy Weir
Book review written by Victor G.
Artemis by Andy Weir is a futuristic science fiction novel about a young woman's struggle to get by as a citizen of the first city on the moon. Jasmine Bashara is a brilliant, witty, antiheroine whose only goal is to get rich, legally or not. As a porter and a petty criminal on the side, she smuggles illegal goods into the city, but money remains tight. So when she is offered the chance to become a millionaire (and potentially destroy the city's oxygen supply), she is unable to refuse the job. However, when things go wrong. Jazz finds herself in over her head with law enforcement, the Brazilian mafia, and a disappointed father all to answer to.
This book is a great read for science fiction nerds who like space technology and futuristic fantasies. The author shares a through provoking view of what a world with commercial space travel and cities on the moon could look like. I enjoyed the degree of realism that the in-depth, technical explanations of the technology added to the story. Excellent pacing and well written characters, along with Weir's use of unexpected twists, keeps readers invested in the story and guarantees that there is never a dull moment. Overall, Artemis is a thrilling book that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good science fiction story to read. 3.5/5 ⭐
