"it's not as good as 'the martian'"? andy: look, let's keep our feet on the ground. no. yeah, i'm really happy with how it's turned out. and between "the martian" and "artemis," i was 70,000 words into a different book that i'd written. yeah, originally i was writing a different book called "zhek," z-h-e-k, and i got 70,000 words into that. for reference, the entire book "the m
