I had heard of the Martian but not Artemis, what is it like?
It's probably his most "sci-fi" work. It's the farthest in the future, and is kind of a crime / political thriller set in the only city on the moon.
It’s more or less about heist on the moon that goes predictably sideways in weird ways. I’ve noticed that his foreshadowing is a little too blunt though.
Artemis is set in a colony on the Moon. Cool science and economy about running the colony, but writing was meh (if I have to read "head full of steam" for the third time...) and MC swears a lot in a juvenile and cringe way.
