Resolution criteria

The market will resolve to "Yes" if the next novel published by Andy Weir contains a setting primarily located in outer space (e.g., aboard a spacecraft, on a planet other than Earth, or a space station). It will resolve to "No" if the narrative is set primarily on Earth.

Resolution will be based on the official plot summary, author confirmation, or the published content of the book upon release. The market will resolve once the book is officially published or a definitive plot synopsis is released by the publisher or author via their official website (https://andyweirauthor.com/) or a major news outlet.
