And I see in Artemis some similarities with Heinlein's "The Door to Summer." ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The Heinlein's protagonist, Dan Davis, is a tech guy/engineer/inventor, just like the MC in Artemis. He was betrayed and deceived by his fiancée Belle, so he lost his robot manufacturing company to her and his former companion Milles, started drinking, and eventually decided to go into "cold sleep" as he could not solve his problems in the present. Aiden did roughly the same thing with his life after Cass’ betrayal, putting himself into hibernation and letting therapy sessions with the hot doc do their job.
After awakening, Aiden begins to rebuild his life, just like Dan did, because his talent and creativity were the real main asset of his former company. But since that moment the plots begin to differ greatly, but nevertheless, in some aspects, Kendra strangely reminiscent of Ricky, Milles' stepdaughter, she was the only person who knew and loved Dan since her childhood and whom he could only trust. The only question is, who is Dan's cat, Pete in Artemis? Robo-doggo, I guess.
Both stories have their pros and cons, Heinlein's story is rich with time travel, paradoxes and other popular 80s sci-fi thingies. On the other hand, Artemis has a sorority full of hotties, where pledge hazing is a proper blowjob.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
