Don’t let it. It’s a phenomenal book, and the other adaptation of Weir’s work, The Martian, was very well-done. I suspect Project Hail Mary will be an excellent movie. Just don’t watch the trailer.
(But honestly even if you do, it’s a spoiler for the first, like, quarter of the story. If that. It’s not some massive twist or anything, it was just a really awesome reveal in the book.)
I couldn’t finish Artemis though. It was around describing the domes of the lunar colony as looking like a pair of boobies is when I couldn’t go on. Felt like Andy needed to rub one out before sitting down at the keyboard for that one.
Some authors should just not write protagonists of the opposite sex…
I didn’t clock her as badly written. He sufficiently hangs the lampshade, with other characters surprised by how forward and open she is about sex. And sex itself is very much not a present part of the plot, though it is part of her character’s backstory.
But also I’m not a woman, either.
I loved that book, but not as much as The Martian or Project Hail Mary.

I got through two chapters of Artemis before I gave up. Project Hail Mary, however, is very good.
