I recently read a book called Artemis, which is very hard sci-fi as far as I can tell. It goes into great detail describing the economics supporting the moon base where the story takes place—how much money it makes from tourism vs. exporting rocket fuel, how it got started by a corporation under Kenyan flag of convenience, etc. I don’t know enough economics to judge whether it succeeded but it certainly tried to get the economics right, and seemed plausible enough to me.

I bet I know why you read that book...
I’d be interested to see how much of it you can guess. :)
My sole reason is that it’s the name of your daughter :-)
(Secondarily I imagine “you heard it was good”, maybe it’s an interesting sci-fi story.)
Correct on the first count, not the second—someone gave it to me as a gift because they saw it had the same name as my daughter.
