However, as the heist is coming to fruition, Jazz comes to realize that things are actually going off the rails and that she may very well have stumbled into something much bigger than herself and her ambitions: a grand conspiracy for the control of Artemis, a lethal game played by the rich and powerful at the very top. One day though, a regular proposes a job to her, one with such a lucrative payout that she might finally be able to break free from her unenviable position in society.
She only takes on small-time stuff, the kind most people would roll their eyes at. The story opens as we are introduced to Jazz Bashara, a porter living and working on the moon, occasionally dabbling in smuggling in an attempt to make ends meet. Needless to say though, human ambitions run deep and can seldom be contained, often turning the dream into a nightmare. With the imminent mission that NASA is preparing for Mars though, it seems that the gears have slowly begun turning.Īndy Weir chooses to turn the clock forward a bit in his new novel Artemis, and take us to a time where humanity has managed to build their first (and titular) extraterrestrial city, located on the moon. After all, wouldn’t it be amazing for a country to expand onto a whole planet? In reality, we’re still very far away from the iron dream of colonizing space and conquering the void, still preoccupied with doing so down on Earth. Colonization seems to be one the thing mankind strives towards collectively, setting their sights on the vast collective of planets out there that could one day host human life.
