I read Artemis after The Martian and Project Hail Mary. Where I felt a connection with an alien in the latter, Artemis offered no such thing, even though the main character is roughly my age and gender. Or because of it. It feels like Weir is uncomfortable with the political and social side of this story. This could have been such a solid exploration of a future society, but we got some dumb luck and a happy ever after instead.
