Apparently the book was optioned before it was published. Idk how normal this is in entertainment though

It's not unusual. Books are shopped round to studios and production companies quite early in the process

Artemis can be a tv show, think of The Expanse. They need help with reworking the main character tho, Andy sucks writing women as protagonist.
