Artemis

 Fiction by Andy Weir


Jasmine Bashara (Jazz to her friends)  is a young woman working a low-paying job with a slightly questionable side hustle to supplement her income. She's trying to save up for her own place, and show her conservative father that she's not the screwup he thinks she is. All this sounds very ordinary, but here's the twist:

Jazz lives in a colony on the surface of the moon.

The author does a great job of weaving the complicated exposition of a futuristic world into the story without seeming to, which is amazing, but the best part of this book is the character of Jazz. 


I also read recently by this author: Hail Mary
