Artemis' world is also inhabited by fairies (unbeknownst to most humans) who harbor vast reserves of gold, and his plot to steal this kicks off the series.

Famous quotes related to popular culture:
“The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
