If you were drawn to the way Dreaming In Smoke delves into the social structures and psychological pressures of a colonized world, you'll love The Gate to Women's Country. Tepper crafts a future society shaped by gender roles and hidden agendas, immersing you in deep questions about identity, power, and the consequences of social engineering—much like the intrigue and tensions between Kalypso and the isolated colony's leaders.

If you appreciated Kalypso's messy choices and the moral ambiguity of survival in Dreaming In Smoke, you'll be fascinated by Father Emilio Sandoz in The Sparrow. The book follows a Jesuit priest and scientist as he confronts ethical dilemmas and the limits of understanding when a mission to an alien world goes horribly wrong, mirroring the compelling, sometimes questionable decisions faced by Sullivan's characters.

If Kalypso's journey of growth and self-discovery in the face of adversity resonated with you, Ammonite is a must-read. Follow Marghe, an anthropologist forced to adapt and change as she struggles to survive—and ultimately thrive—among the mysterious all-female society of Jeep, echoing the intense personal evolution at the heart of Dreaming In Smoke.

If the philosophical and societal questioning in Dreaming In Smoke captivated you, Woman on the Edge of Time offers a similarly thought-provoking experience. Through Connie Ramos's journeys into an alternate future, the novel explores issues of gender, freedom, and the possibility of utopian societies, challenging you to consider the nature of humanity and social progress just as Sullivan's world does.

If you were absorbed by the intricate world and culture-building in Dreaming In Smoke, The Dispossessed will transport you even further. Le Guin's depiction of the contrasting societies of Anarres and Urras is both detailed and immersive, providing a deep sense of place and exploring how environment and ideology shape people's lives—much like Sullivan's vivid, claustrophobic colony.
