If you were captivated by Annie’s quietly unsettling journey to understand love, agency, and purpose, you’ll find Never Let Me Go equally haunting. Ishiguro’s novel follows Kathy, a student at the mysterious Hailsham school, as she pieces together the disturbing truth of her existence and what it means for her future. The novel’s meditative, emotional approach to artificial humanity and the boundaries of selfhood will resonate deeply with you.

If you loved the focus on Annie’s relationships and emotional interior rather than technical explanations, Machines Like Me will draw you in. McEwan’s story of Charlie and his lifelike android, Adam, explores the messiness of love, ethics, and human connection in an alternate 1980s London. The gentle unraveling of what separates humans from machines is just as poignant and intimate as in Annie Bot.

If you appreciated the thought-provoking challenges Annie faces around autonomy and existence, Exhalation will leave you equally awestruck. Chiang’s collection delves into questions of identity, memory, and self-awareness, with stories like “The Lifecycle of Software Objects” offering a deeply emotional and cerebral look at artificial intelligence and the complexities of choice.

If you were drawn to Annie’s internal monologue and her earnest attempts to understand human emotion, you’ll be moved by Klara and the Sun. Klara, an Artificial Friend, observes the world with hopeful curiosity as she seeks to love and protect the girl who buys her. Ishiguro’s gentle, empathetic prose closely mirrors the singular perspective and emotional vulnerability that made Annie’s story so compelling.

If you enjoyed the close, sometimes claustrophobic examination of Annie’s mind and her shifting sense of self, Foe is a chilling, thought-provoking next read. The story centers on Junior, whose isolated life is upended by the arrival of a stranger and the prospect of being replaced by an artificial version of himself. Reid’s taut, psychological narrative keeps you questioning reality and identity until the final page.
