If you were drawn to Klara and the Sun for its meditative exploration of consciousness and what it means to be human, you'll find Never Let Me Go equally haunting. Through the eyes of Kathy, a young woman reflecting on her childhood at Hailsham, Ishiguro unpacks themes of identity, love, and the ethics of technology in a quietly devastating way—much like Klara’s journey as an Artificial Friend searching for meaning and connection.

If you enjoyed Klara’s perspective as an artificial being trying to navigate human emotions, you'll appreciate Machines Like Me. In this alternate-history London, Charlie acquires Adam, a highly advanced humanoid robot, and their entangled lives probe the boundaries between artificial and human love, loyalty, and morality—echoing the gentle, character-focused speculation that made Klara and the Sun so compelling.

If the quiet, intimate focus on a single character’s internal journey in Klara and the Sun captivated you, The Remains of the Day offers a similar experience. Through the reserved but poignant narrative of Stevens the butler, Ishiguro once again creates a moving portrait of devotion, regret, and the subtle complexities of interpersonal connection.

If you loved the warmth and optimism in Klara’s attempts to care for Josie and understand the world, A Robot in the Garden will charm you. Ben, a man at loose ends, discovers a broken robot named Tang in his backyard, and their journey together is full of heart, humor, and gentle hope—much like Klara’s quest to protect and bring happiness to her family.

If Klara’s inner life and the novel’s probing of what it means to have agency resonated with you, Autonomous takes a more action-driven but equally thoughtful approach. The story follows Paladin, a sentient robot, and their journey of self-discovery amid a world of human and AI conflict—raising questions about freedom, love, and identity that echo Klara’s poignant narrative.
