Summary
Author
of ‘The Martian’ Andy Weir writes a second novel ‘Artemis’ which is based on
the moon, but very different from his first book. This is the story of Jazz, who lives on the
moon which is populated by the very rich who can afford to live there, and the
very poor who work on the moon. She is a
porter who makes very little and smuggles for extra income. Eventually she is offered a very dangerous
and illegal job with a huge payoff which leads her to discover who really is in
power and who controls economic policy on Artemis. This story is light, at times humorous, fast
moving, and a gripping tale.
