Artemis	comment	Artemis is the second novel by Andy Weir, first published in 2017.Jasmine "Jazz" Bashara is a small-time criminal trying to make a living on the first ever lunar colony. When one of her wealthier customers offers her a massive payday in exchange for assistance in a corporate takeover (consisting of epic vandalism) she jumps at the chance, desiring more from life than her current lot. Alas, her plan doesn't exactly work out and she is forced to improvise another solution... until she finds her benefactor murdered and is caught up in a conspiracy concerning the future of Artemis itself. Definitely not what she signed up for.Artemis takes some creative liberties, but it still is a hard science fiction.Also, there's welding. A lot of welding.A film adaptation was announced on May 2017, with Phil Lord & Chris Miller announced as directors, and Geneva Robertson Dworet writing the screenplay. No official release date has been announced.

She was raised Muslim, so she knows perfectly well how to wear them properly. However, when authorities review security footage later, they notice that she bows to another passenger at one point... but a devout Muslim would only ever bow to Allah.

Artemis / int_18e7aa01	comment	Practical Currency: "Slugs" or soft-landed grams. S-L-G. One slug gets one gram of cargo delivered from Earth to Artemis, courtesy of Kenya Space Corporation — which at the time costs roughly sixteen cents. Notably, they aren't coins or paper, but simply electronic certificates for pre-paid cargo space on the shuttles. They're custom-engineered for money laundering — part of how Ngugi financed KSC and Artemis.

Artemis / int_19fe3478	type	Daddy's Girl
Artemis / int_19fe3478	comment	Daddy's Girl: Lene Landvik is a completely straight example. Trond's original reason for moving to the moon in the first place was to give his daughter the ability to walk again after a car accident left her paralyzed. She can walk using crutches on the Moon, but couldn't have managed it in Earth's gravity. Jazz has a decidedly more complicated relationship with her father than Lene does, but Ammar still cares deeply about her, despite their history of broken trust and disappointment. This becomes clear to Jazz when Ammar spends an excessive amount of time on welding together the capsule that is meant to protect Jazz from dying in vacuum on her mission to destroy the Sanchez smelters. He's widely considered to be the best welder on Artemis and could probably have done it right in a reasonable amount of time, but this is his daughter's life; he's not going to risk shoddy workmanship.

Artemis / int_2260cfe3	comment	Like Father Like Daughter: Downplayed, in that Jazz is not the hardworking blue-collar professional that Ammar is, but they do have the same sense of business ethics. Rudy exploits this when, trying to get the truth out of Jazz, he offers to pay her for the truth, concluding that she is lying when she refuses the money; he surmises that she will lie to his face all day if they're just talking, but by offering her money, he makes it a business transaction, which she cannot accept in good conscience if she isn't being truthful. Again paralleled with Lene Landvik, and even foreshadowed by her father's comment, "You'll be a cut-throat business asshole soon enough." While she doesn't have quite his level of ruthlessness, she definitely shows evidence that she's capable of it before it's all over.

Artemis / int_372bc105	comment	Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Jazz is cynical about her life in particular, but an idealist about Artemis in general. She loves living in Artemis and will do anything to stay there. Administrator Ngugi, on the other hand, leans towards cynicism while presenting herself as an idealist: she proposed Artemis as a way to boost Kenya's economy, by providing tax havens for wealthy people, and money laundering for criminals, and the whole city itself is a Ponzi scheme on the verge of collapse by the time of the events of the novel. When salvation and an economic future are presented in the form of ZAFO, she works with Trond to illegally destroy the business of a cartel that was the city's primary economic driver in the early days, to keep the promise of a new economy out of the hands of the cartel. When the plan fails, she seems to give up, believing that any chance to save Artemis is now doomed to failure.

Artemis has no formal court system; severe offenders are subject to deportation back to Earth, usually to the victim's home country to stand trial. Alvarez has murdered two people; one Russian, one Norwegian. Russia has the death penalty. Norway does not. Where Rudy decides Alvarez gets deported to depends on how cooperative he is with Rudy's investigation.

Artemis / int_c396fef9	comment	Ponzi: Ngugi mentioned that Artemis' actual economy was a giant Ponzi scheme - their primary source of income was immigrants transferring over their bank accounts. But now that the population was leveling out, that was starting to collapse, so if Artemis is to survive, they need to do something to create a real, sustainable economy. Enter ZAFO.

Artemis / int_da8c447e	comment	Unobtainium: The box marked "ZAFO" which the conspiracy centres around. Turns out it's an acronym for Zero-Attenuation Fiber Optic (fictional and silica-based version of ZBLAN, which is heavy metal fluoride glass); the light equivalent of a superconductor. Bonus; though it's made from common elements, it can't be manufactured in a gravity well. This is world-shaking; in Svoboda's words, "Normal fiber-optic lines can only be fifteen kilometers long. After that, the signalâ€™s just too weak to continue. So you need repeaters. They read the signal and retransmit it. But repeaters cost money, they have to be powered, and theyâ€™re complicated. Oh, and they slow down the transmission too.â€� Everyone on Earth will want it, it can't be made on Earth, but the primary component is silica, which is everywhere on the Moon. ZAFO is an economist's dream product; a low-cost high-demand product that can only be constructed in one isolated location.

Artemis / int_dca70c44	comment	Reasonable Authority Figure: For all that he's trying to get Jazz deported, Rudy never once steps out of line, and in fact helps her several times when the stakes are higher than her smuggling operation. He in fact appears apologetic when he tells her to get ready to be deported for her sabotage at the end of the novel. Administrator Ngugi seems to be entirely reasonable whenever she interacts with Jazz. This is because she's well aware of Jazz's illegal activity, but allows it to keep the Artemis economy rolling, justifying a small black market as necessary for economic growth.

Artemis / int_e62dfb96	comment	No Endor Holocaust: At the climax of the book, Jazz must rush to save the city after her sabotage of the smelter inadvertently floods the domes with chloroform for about fifty minutes. Somehow this fails to kill anyone, though it's reported that three elderly residents suffered cardiac arrests. Even if you assume most of the population are healthy adults, Jazz's narration notes that she saw at least one tourist child who was knocked out. Breathing chloroform for such an extended period should have resulted in dozens, if not hundreds of deaths, and damage to the livers and kidneys of many others.

Artemis / int_e8a03fe8	comment	Moral Pragmatist: Administrator Fidelis Ngugi. She built Artemis and turned Kenya into a world power by selling space as a tax haven. One of her customers is a drug cartel who uses Artemis for money laundering. Now, a couple of decades later, she permits a venture capitalist to sabotage that cartel's operations in exchange for a cut of the profits from the Unobtainium. In the end she accepts Jazz's proposal that they need some smuggling, so she declares Jazz — nonviolent and careful to keep weapons and hard drugs out of Artemis — as Artemisâ€™s unpaid, unofficial, import regulatory body. She also fines Jazz most of the profit for the caper, so she "stays hungry" — if she ever made too much money, she might retire.

In truth he's more of a Reasonable Authority Figure. When Rudy does catch her red-handed, Administrator Ngugi gives Jazz a pass, and Rudy is unhappy but willing to follow the Administrator's directive. When a murder occurs, Rudy proves perfectly willing to work out a deal with Jazz in order to catch the killer, and he goes after the suspect rather than chase after Jazz.

Net profit for the events of the book: thirty-three thousand slugs. Five thousand, two hundred and eighty dollars. And a signed confession so the woman who got Artemis in hock to drug cartels in the first place can deport her back to Earth where she can't stand up unaided whenever she wants.
