Severian's journey through a decaying far-future world is as demanding and rewarding as Banks's experimental style.

If you were gripped by the deeply detailed world of the Crypt and its strange, layered societies in Feersum Endjinn, you'll find Perdido Street Station just as immersive. Miéville's New Crobuzon is a sprawling, bizarre city full of unique species, technologies, and cultures—a feast for anyone who loves exploring meticulously crafted settings.

If you enjoyed piecing together multiple storylines and perspectives, as in Feersum Endjinn's interwoven plots, The Quantum Thief will delight you. Rajaniemi blends intricate heists, memory puzzles, and shifting allegiances in a futuristic Martian society, challenging the reader with a web of secrets and clever narrative turns.

If you found yourself fascinated by the ethically ambiguous characters—like Cussick and Bascule—in Feersum Endjinn, you'll appreciate Gully Foyle in The Stars My Destination. Bester's anti-hero is driven, ruthless, and unpredictable, making for a compelling journey through vengeance, transformation, and survival.

If you enjoyed the playful and challenging use of language—such as Bascule's phonetic narration—in Feersum Endjinn, you'll find The City & The City equally intriguing. Miéville explores perception, language, and divided realities through Inspector Borlú's investigation in two overlapping cities, making you question every detail the narrator unveils.
