I also didn’t care for how brash she was. I never even really felt back for her and her situation. She was too much of a disaster and I just never really liked her. First of all, I never connected with Jazz. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she’s stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself-and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first ( summary from Goodreads). Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you’ve got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you’re not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. I grabbed it and headed home to start reading. The hype (in that moment seeing it at my library) was real for me. Sci Fi isn’t a genre that I read a lot of but I love science and space and I loved The Martian (film, I haven’t read the book yet). So imagine my luck when I found it on the ‘Lucky Day’ display at my local library! I immediately check it out and was excited to see what all the fuss was about. People are basically fighting to read this book. The cover is interesting, eye catching, and cool! The hype around this book is real. It’s front and center in every bookstore in my city.

The Social Contract, then, surfaces as an answer to the need of creating an arrangement that would securely “defend and protect, with the whole common force, the person and goods of each associate and by which every person, while uniting himself with all, shall obey only himself and remain free as before".
