Andy Weir discusses his bestselling novel The Martian and his new novel Artemis.
About the book:
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. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosions-not to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can’t handle, and she figures she’s got the ‘swagger’ part down.

Man, Andy is such a cool dude. I messaged him about a detail in The Martian after I read it and he answered after 10 minutes with a full explanation. 10/10 guy

GetAllTheInfo it was something related to the transmission times between earth and mars at some point in the story. He checked the software he wrote for the orbits and gave me an exact answer

Listened to the audiobook of Artemis, read by Rosario Dawson. Absolutely loved it. If Artemis ever gets made into a movie, I think Rosario would make a great leading actress.

I agree with him. More hard Sci-Fi set in the near future, where are his copy-cats? The other thing I love about his writing is no dystopian cynical pessimism like so much Sci-Fi. I have only just started reading Artemis, but the refreshing part of reading The Martian was that people were imperfect but well-intentioned. A story about resourcefulness, seeing a seemingly insurmountable problem and breaking it down to solvable parts, humanity banding together in the face of adversity - even when it is to save just one person. It was feel good escapism, but also respected the readers intelligence and showed a respect and admiration for what humanity can achieve when we use our combined intelligence in a positive way.

It's ironic that there's so much cynical sci-fi these days when so much of the defining works of the genre, from Asimov to Trek, are underlyingly optimistic. Though maybe that's reflective of (understandable) growing cynicism about the state of the world in general. Then again, maybe that cynicism is exactly *why* some people want more optimistic sci-fi - and optimism about the future that acknowledges the faults of the present is perhaps the most powerful form of optimism.

@@andrew1717xx i read it and liked it. Basicly it reads in the same way as the martian. The main character tells whats happening and gets herself in a mess wich she tries to solve in creative ways. Its just a different story.

1996 I worked for Sierra (Blizzard was apart of Sierra). I was a 3D artist there until Sierra laid off most everyone in 1998. I would return in 2000 when they geared up again. (I also worked at Boss Game Studio and Microsoft) 1996-2003. I also worked doing art for comics. Now I just need to write some very popular novels! (Just read Project Hail Mary-Loved it)

The Fireblaster "Disgustingly horrible" is a pretty strong term. The characters are sub-par, and the story line is at the very least average, but the cool science and sci-fi bits are just as good as they were in The Martian, IMO. Artemis wasnt an amazing, thrilling page turner of a book like The Martian was, but I think if its not placed in comparison to The Martian, its a decent novel.

The Fireblaster listen dude this is YOUR personal opinion, just shut the fuck up okay? there are some people who really loved this book, you can't tell that is horrible bla bla bla, because it's just what you think. just say: I didn't like it, is more simple and educate

i wouldn´t put it like that, i read it in one night and did enjoy it a lot. i think it is a good base for more books in that world, and also a very different world and story compared to the martian, and maybe a lot of people were expecting something more similar.

A common complain is the characters, Jazza specifically. If you're a dude you might actually like her, especially if you relate to the scientist.

I dunno man. Listen to those nerd questions. They speak for the room. He is basically in a room with a bunch of nerds being a nerd who wrote a book. This IS the nerd crowd. Stringent in their beliefs, passive beyond respect and cautious without limit. The fact that the crowd responded with laughter to his talk is incredibly positive. He earned their respect and blossomed in front of the whole room. Brave man.
