In Aztec Century, did you enjoy ...
... alternate history with sweeping geopolitical changes?
The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson
If you were fascinated by the reimagined world order and the grand, alternate history where the Aztec Empire dominates in Aztec Century, you'll be absorbed by The Years of Rice and Salt. Robinson explores a world where Europe is nearly wiped out by the Black Death, leading to centuries of development dominated by Asian and Islamic cultures. The book traces the impact of this change over generations, offering a deeply immersive look at how history and society can be reshaped.
... detailed alternate societies shaped by historical divergence?
The Gate of Worlds by Robert Silverberg
You’ll relish The Gate of Worlds if you enjoyed the richly imagined non-Western civilizations and meticulous worldbuilding of Aztec Century. Silverberg envisions a world where the Black Death destroyed most of Europe, allowing the Aztecs and Ottomans to ascend. His attention to the customs, politics, and daily life of these societies delivers that same immersive depth you loved.
... political intrigue in an alternate geopolitical landscape?
The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon
If the covert maneuverings, power struggles, and intrigue between nations in Aztec Century drew you in, The Yiddish Policemen's Union will keep you hooked. Set in an alternate Alaska where Jewish refugees have established a temporary homeland, Chabon’s novel weaves together detective noir and complex political plots, as Detective Meyer Landsman navigates conspiracies in a world that feels both familiar and strikingly different.
... morally complex protagonists navigating oppressive regimes?
The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick
If you appreciated the nuanced, sometimes ambiguous characters operating in the morally gray world of Aztec Century, you’ll find The Man in the High Castle compelling. Dick’s characters—like Juliana, Frank, and Tagomi—grapple with personal and ethical dilemmas in a world where the Axis powers have won WWII. Their choices highlight the complexity of survival and resistance under occupation.
... strong, nuanced female protagonists in speculative worlds?
The Power by Naomi Alderman
If the formidable and deeply human female lead of Aztec Century was a highlight for you, you’ll love The Power. Alderman presents a world where women suddenly develop the ability to produce electrical energy, shifting global power structures. Through the eyes of characters like Roxy and Margot, you’ll experience a provocative exploration of gender, power, and resistance.
