Andy Weir's "Artemis" is not the best anything of the year, aside from the best Andy Weir novel of the year (1 nominee). I don't care what the Goodreads community thinks; it is just okay. Okay sci-fi, okay mystery.
@beefasil like the rest of his novels, then
So looking forward to it
@clew
It is denser than his other novels - beautifully so. It's a masterwork.
@beefasil He’s speaking in my city pretty soon, yay. Interviewed by Namez Raam, interesting choice.
@clew
Two really great novelists! The "Nexus" trilogy is also excellent.
@beefasil I find _Nexus_ only a patchy success, but the parts I like I really like. (The fiction is clunky for me, the science fiction great. And IIRC it isn't mean-tempered, which I count for a lot.)
@beefasil Thanks for the reminder to read this!
@dani
Happy to. I recommend all Harkaway's novels gladly.
"I'm Ike Thermite, and we're. . . . "
@beefasil That's what I have heard as well.
Read Nick Harkaway's "Gnomon". It is an astounding novel, mystery, thought piece - everything.
