The Martian was fantastic. Artemis was a huge disappointment and I haven't returned to his writing since. What is your opinion of what has come after Artemis?
Artemis was a disappointment, so I agree with you there. But he redeemed himself with Project Hail Mary and you must read that novel. And highly recommend the audiobook as well.
I didn't exactly hate Artemis. It had some really great concepts of technology like the recirculating gray water shower. It's genius for places that have to conserve every drop. It definitely had a weak story but it's not terrible yet it's not something I'll read again anytime soon.

Weird typo in the book title, but not actually entirely inaccurate.

Thanks for catching that, my freaking phone autocorrect is pain.

His voice in the audiobook is the most wonderful sound.

Wonder if he's got any new books in the pipeline. Not that there's a rush.
