In An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, did you enjoy ...

... the viral rise to internet fame and its impact on identity?

The Circle by Dave Eggers

If you were fascinated by April May's sudden fame and how her online persona spirals out of control in An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, you'll be equally compelled by Mae Holland's journey in The Circle. Both novels explore how social media, online attention, and viral culture shape—and sometimes distort—personal identity, with thought-provoking and suspenseful consequences.

... humor and wit woven into a sci-fi story about humanity?

The Humans by Matt Haig

If you loved the blend of dry humor, clever commentary, and absurdity in An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, you'll appreciate The Humans. The story follows an alien sent to Earth who navigates human life with a sharp, witty perspective—much like Hank Green's satirical take on contemporary society.

... strong character growth under extraordinary circumstances?

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

April May's personal evolution as she grapples with fame and responsibility is mirrored in Station Eleven, where characters like Kirsten and Jeevan undergo profound growth while adapting to a changed world. You'll be drawn to the emotional depth and transformation that occur in both stories.

... morally complex characters navigating sudden global change?

The Power by Naomi Alderman

... unexpected twists and revelations in a high-concept sci-fi narrative?

This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El Mohtar, Max Gladstone
