A scale beyond expectations,
A blockbuster that surpasses the success of the debut film
#1 Amazon bestseller immediately after publication
A sci-fi noir thriller by genius writer Andy Weir

Genius writer Andy Weir presents a new work, this time set on Earth's satellite, the moon.
This novel, which is filled with so much love for the moon that the author himself boasts, “I never thought of it as anything other than the title Artemis,” attracted public attention as soon as it was published, just like its predecessor, and rose to the top of the bestseller list.
The success of this work established Andy Weir as a true best-selling author and a box office hit.
If the previous work, "The Martian," was a survival story of a man stranded on Mars, "Artemis" begins the story with a typical hard-boiled novel.


Area: approximately 0.5 square kilometers.
Population: approximately 2,000.
The city, which is mostly populated by tourists and billionaires, is also home to a large number of workers and criminals.
Jasmine Vashara, a porter in this enchanting moon city, will do anything to earn money.
So, even when doing illegal things, I accept it without hesitation.
One day, he receives an offer from a rich man named Tron Ranvik that will make him rich overnight.
This is more dangerous and illegal than she thought, but with her unique mathematical sense and experience, she is close to completing the mission.
However, the client, Tron, is killed by an unknown force, and Jasmine is eventually put in danger when information about her being a criminal is shared throughout Artemis City.
As the devastating conspiracies that will determine Artemis' fate are revealed one by one, Jasmine is forced to use all her knowledge and tools to save Artemis.


The author, who has stated that he enjoys researching and verifying scientific facts more than anything else when writing, fully demonstrates his strengths in this work as well.
As with the previous work, 'The Martian', the perfect virtual world called 'Artemis, the City on the Moon' was created through extensive research and mathematical calculations.
Based on extensive knowledge and rational reasoning in earth science, chemistry, and mathematics, he researched the most efficient way to build a city on the moon, and even detailed political and economic plans for the city to fulfill its role.
This is why author Blake Crouch praised it: “Once again, the impossible has been achieved, set in a city on the moon!”


Over the past 100 years, science fiction has continued to evolve, and its popularity, especially in the domestic market, is skyrocketing.
If you're looking for a masterpiece of science fiction that harmoniously blends human ideals with natural scientific knowledge, this book should be at the top of your list.
This book is the latest revised edition, and is specially designed to be a gift edition for Andy Weir fans, as it forms a 'space trilogy' set with the author's new book, 'Project Hailmary', and his debut work, 'The Martian'.
The set box design was created by designer Seok Yoon, who won awards in the graphic category of the Korea Design Award, adding a unique sensibility.

“Where on earth did you get that spacesuit?”
“I bought it used.”
“Why buy used?”
“Because I don’t have money to buy a new one.
“I can barely afford to buy a used one, but you fucking guild won’t let anyone without a spacesuit in.”
“I should have saved up to buy a new one.”
For Bob Lewis, a former U.S. Marine, such excuses didn't work.
More importantly, he is the head instructor of the Extravehicular Activities Guild.
Although he must report to the guild president, Bob can independently determine whether a new member is suitable.
And if you don't become a member, you can't go on extra-curricular activities alone or take tourists out.
That's how the guild works.
Those unlucky guys.
“So? Did you pass?”
Bob snorted.
“Are you kidding me? Jazz, you failed your test.
“It’s a very clear failure.”
“Why!” I demanded.
“I did all the required moves, completed all the tasks, and finished the obstacle course in under seven minutes.
And besides, when a fatal problem occurred, you returned safely to the city without putting your partner at risk.”
Bob opened the locker and put his gloves and helmet inside.
“The spacesuit is your responsibility.
But it broke.
That means you failed.”

At Artemis, Aldrin is making more money than anywhere else.
There is nothing I can buy in the shopping area.
But someday I will make enough money to live here.
Anyway, that's the plan.
I looked around the place slowly once more, then turned around and headed towards the customs port.

Aldrin is the bubble closest to the landing site.
The rich don't necessarily need to experience poverty by passing through slums, right? That's why they head straight for the cool districts.

“Why do you want to acquire an aluminum company?”
“Because I like expanding my business,” Tron replied with an exaggerated air.
“It’s also my area of ​​expertise.”
“But aluminum? I mean… isn’t that trivial?
“I think it’ll be tough because it’s manufacturing.”
“That’s right,” Tron said.
“It’s not like the old days when aluminum was king.
It took 40,000 tons of aluminum to build one bubble.
But now that the population is stagnant, no new bubbles are being created.
Frankly, if it weren't for the production of rocket fuel using aluminum, we would have failed long ago.
“Even that doesn’t yield much profit.”
“It seems like the days of easy money are over.
But why are you trying to touch it now?”
“I feel like I can make a lot of money again.”
“How?”
“I don’t know about that.

“I’m just being honest.
“If I get arrested, you promise not to drag me in, that’s part of the deal.”
“Why me? Why do you think I can do this?”
“Jazz, I’m a businessman.
What I do is develop underutilized resources.
And you are a tremendously underutilized resource.”
Tron got up, walked over to the display case, and poured himself another drink.
“You could have been anything.
Don't want to be a welder? That's okay.
Because I could have become a scientist.
Engineer, politician, successful businessman, whatever.
But you became a porter.”
I grimaced.

“I’m not trying to judge,” Tron said.
“I’m just analyzing it.
You are really smart and want money.
I need someone really smart and have money.
“Are you interested?”
“Hmm...” I thought for a moment.

Is it even possible?

A hushed laugh spread among the passengers.
It was a joke that wasn't even funny, but the tourists enjoyed it very much.
The train has departed.
It moved incredibly smoothly.
There was no rattling or shaking at all.
(Of course) it was powered by electric motors, and the tracks were completely free of any warping or other issues caused by rough weather.
Moreover, the weight applied to the tracks was not great compared to Earth.
Each row of seats had round windows on both sides.
The passengers looked out intently at the dull, rocky landscape as they returned.
Why all this fuss? It's just a bunch of gray rocks lying around.
Who cares about this stuff?
A shabbily dressed woman, who looked like she was from the American Midwest, looked out the window, giggled, and then turned to me.
“Isn’t that cool?! We’re on the moon!”
“I’m sorry, I don’t speak English,” I said, shrugging.
The woman turned her head to the other passengers.
“Isn’t it wonderful? We’re on the moon!”

“Who reported me?”
Rudy shook his head.
“No, but I’m always interested in what’s going on in this city.
You have an EVA suit and you're a criminal.
“I think that’s enough to start an investigation.”
“I was in my coffin all night.
If you don't believe me, check out the Gizmodo log.
I will give my consent so that you can confirm.
“Then, we can save ourselves the trouble of having to get permission from the administrative officer.”
“I will accept your offer,” he said.
“Anyway, Bob Lewis of the Extravehicular Activities Guild made the same request.
That guy asked for location information on where everyone in an EVA suit was last night.
“You agree to give that friend your information, right?”
"yes.
Or so you say.
Then the truth will come out.”
“You can just skip the rice,” Rudy said.
“But I am the embodiment of doubt.
Just because your gizmo was in your coffin all night doesn't mean you were there.
“Are there any witnesses?”
"no.
Contrary to what many people think, I usually sleep alone.”
Rudy raised an eyebrow.
“Sanchez Aluminum is really upset.
The Extravehicular Activities Guild was also furious.”
“It has nothing to do with me.
