But the finished novel is nothing like my original idea for the story. Why it exists economically, how it would grow, its history - albeit short it’s only twenty years old - and the like. Where did you get the original idea for Artemis, and how different is the finished novel from that initial idea? The main character is a woman who’s a small-time criminal and she gets in way over her head. Let’s start with the basics: What is Artemis about?Īrtemis takes place about seventy years in the future in a city on The Moon. But while you might expect this book to be about an astronaut who’s accidentally stranded on, oh let’s say Venus, or maybe Mercury, Weir has actually taking a left turn and veered this new sci-fi tale into the realm of the crime novel. Three years after releasing The Martian - six if you count when he first self-published his debut novel about an astronaut who’s stranded on Mars - writer Andy Weir is taking another trip to outer space with his new novel, Artemis ( hardcover, Kindle, audiobook).
