If you loved following Mickey's repeated, high-stakes missions and the dogged resourcefulness he brings to surviving in impossible conditions, you'll be drawn to The Martian. Mark Watney's determination to stay alive on Mars against all odds delivers that same pulse-pounding, goal-driven narrative—complete with clever problem-solving and a race against time.

If you enjoyed Mickey's dry, irreverent wit as he navigates his expendable existence, Redshirts will have you grinning. John Scalzi delivers a hilarious, genre-savvy romp about space explorers who realize they're the disposable crew members—full of clever banter, meta-jokes, and laugh-out-loud moments, all while poking fun at sci-fi tropes.

If Mickey's morally tangled choices and the ethical questions around identity and expendability fascinated you, Altered Carbon is a must-read. Takeshi Kovacs, a deeply flawed anti-hero, navigates a noir future where consciousness can be transferred—forcing him (and the reader) to confront what it means to be human, and how far one will go to survive.

If you appreciated Mickey's scientifically plausible world and the technology-driven challenges he faces—with a healthy dose of snark—All Systems Red will hit the mark. Murderbot, a security android with hacked programming, navigates alien planets, corporate politics, and their own existential musings, all with a voice as dryly funny and relatable as Mickey's.

If the existential questions raised by Mickey's multiple lives and the nature of self intrigued you, you'll be captivated by The Space Between Worlds. Cara, who can travel between alternate Earths only where her counterpart is dead, faces shifting identities, survival, and what it truly means to be unique—all wrapped in a gripping, thought-provoking sci-fi narrative.
