If you loved exploring the enigmatic islands and layered history within Myst, you'll be captivated by Miéville's The City & The City. The novel presents two cities that exist in the same physical space but are experienced as separate by their inhabitants—a world as labyrinthine and mysterious as the puzzles of Myst Island, with secrets waiting to be unraveled by those who look closely.

If the labyrinthine storytelling and subtle clues of Myst drew you in, House of Leaves will offer you an even deeper dive into non-linear narrative. With its nested stories, shifting formats, and mysteries hidden in the text itself, you'll find yourself piecing together layers much like you did while exploring the journals and clues left behind by Atrus.

If you were fascinated by the otherworldly societies and cryptic histories uncovered in Myst, you'll be equally intrigued by Genly Ai's journey on the planet Gethen. Le Guin's exploration of gender, politics, and cultural barriers delivers a similarly immersive and puzzle-filled experience, where every discovery about the world reshapes your understanding.

If the philosophical undertones and questions of reality and knowledge in Myst stuck with you, Anathem will be a perfect next step. You'll join Fraa Erasmas as he unravels mysteries within monastery-like concents and faces world-altering enigmas, echoing the thoughtful and reflective journey through the ages and puzzles of Myst.

If you appreciated the meditative pace and the mood of discovery in Myst, you'll find a similar, almost hypnotic atmosphere in The Slow Regard of Silent Things. Follow Auri as she quietly explores the Underthing, uncovering secrets and rituals in a world where the setting itself is a character, and every detail matters.
