In Market Forces, did you enjoy ...

... the high-stakes, goal-driven missions and cutthroat corporate competition?

Jennifer Government by Max Barry

If what drew you to Market Forces was Chris Faulkner's relentless pursuit of career advancement and the lethal business world where executives settle deals with deadly car duels, you'll be hooked by Jennifer Government. Max Barry crafts a similarly adrenaline-fueled plot in a near-future world where corporations reign supreme and personal ambition can be fatal. The titular character, Jennifer, is on a mission to stop a corporate conspiracy, leading to action-packed confrontations and high personal stakes.

... morally complex protagonists navigating a brutal, capitalist society?

Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan

If you appreciated Chris Faulkner's moral ambiguity and the ethical compromises he makes in Market Forces, you'll find Takeshi Kovacs in Altered Carbon equally compelling. Kovacs is a former soldier turned private investigator, operating in a future where body-swapping and ruthless corporations are the norm. The lines between heroism and villainy blur as he delves into a conspiracy that forces him to question his own morals.

... a dark, dystopian future shaped by corporate power and extreme competition?

The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi

If the bleak, hyper-capitalist setting of Market Forces resonated with you, The Windup Girl offers a similarly dystopian world driven by corporate greed and survival. Bacigalupi's vision of a future Thailand ravaged by bioengineering and cutthroat politics is brutally immersive, with characters forced into desperate and morally gray choices to survive.

... political and corporate intrigue with high personal stakes?

The Circle by Dave Eggers

If you were fascinated by the power struggles and backroom maneuvering in Market Forces, The Circle explores the sinister side of corporate ambition and surveillance. As Mae Holland rises within the ranks of a powerful tech company, she becomes entangled in internal politics and ethical dilemmas, revealing the dark side of a seemingly utopian workplace.

... a gritty, fast-paced narrative with graphic violence and dark satire?

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

If you enjoyed the unflinching violence and satirical edge of Market Forces, Snow Crash delivers a kinetic ride through a fractured America ruled by corporations and criminal syndicates. Hiro Protagonist's adventures are laced with brutal action, dark humor, and a cynical look at the future, making it a perfect match for fans of Morgan's gritty tone.
