内容简介 · · · · · ·
The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller—a heist story set on the moon.
Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich.
Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time.
So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosions—not to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can’t handle, and she figures she’s got the ‘swagger’ part down.
The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz’s problems. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself.
Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit she’s in way over her head. She’ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city.
Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal.
That’ll have to do.
Propelled by its heroine’s wisecracking voice, set in a city that’s at once stunningly imagined and intimately familiar, and brimming over with clever problem-solving and heist-y fun, Artemis is another irresistible brew of science, suspense, and humor from #1 bestselling author Andy Weir.

作者简介 · · · · · ·
Andy Weir built a career as a software engineer until the success of his first published novel, The Martian, allowed him to live out his dream of writing fulltime. He is a lifelong space nerd and a devoted hobbyist of subjects such as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. He also mixes a mean cocktail. He lives in California.
安迪·威尔 (Andy Weir)，从15岁起就被美国国家实验室聘为软件工程师。执着的太空宅男，沉迷于相对论物理、轨道力学和载人飞船。凭借处女作《火星救援》一炮而红，由此改编的同名电影获七项奥斯卡提名。现专职写作。
安迪在科學方面天賦異稟：父母分別是微粒子物理學家及工程師，15歲即被美國國家實驗室延攬，之後專職電腦程式工程師，熱愛物理相對論、軌道力學和火箭，是個不折不扣的太空宅男。
安迪在創作小說方面也很有一套：起初，他的短篇小說被文學經紀人拒於門外，但他不放棄；2009年，他開始寫長篇連載小說《火星任務》，並放上自己的網站讓人免費閱讀，沒想到大批讀者來信要求，希望能出版電子書讓他們收藏；於是2013年，他在亞馬遜自費出版電子書，三個月內便賣出的35,000本，引起了有聲書出版商的興趣，美國皇冠出版集團更用六位數買下紙本書的版權；美商二十世紀福斯影片公司和大導演雷利‧史考特，攜手將他的《火星任務》拍成賣座電影《絕地救援》，還入圍了七項奧斯卡獎。
《火星任務》的全球熱銷，讓他得以專心寫作，結合他最喜愛的科學、天文和文字，向他尊敬的科幻作家看齊。
