Project Hail Mary is such a better book than Artemis.
The theory that he was under pressure to publish his 2nd book after the success of The Martian, so he just put out Artemis may hold water. Lol
I actually enjoyed Artemis. Its nowhere near The Martian, but still a good book in its own right.
I'll add some Artemis love here. I was disappointed by the comparably lower success because I was very ready for a sequel. I loved the dynamic that was established between the main character and the ruler of Artemis - it kind of reminded me of Vimes and Vetinari. I do feel that Hail Mary was better though.
The line that really made me laugh from Artemis is one of the last where the director says "and if you want to make babies, somebodys gotta get fucked". I love how Andy just throws shit like that in his books. A mayor may think that, but they arent supposed to say it.
