If you loved the pulse-pounding mission to distribute Nexus and the high-stakes infiltration scenes with Kade and his team, you'll be riveted by Blindsight. The crew of the Theseus is tasked with first contact with a mysterious alien presence, and every decision is driven by a clear, urgent objective—survival and understanding. The tension and drive of the mission will keep you on the edge of your seat.

If you enjoyed following Kade, Sam, Ilya, and the wider cast in Nexus, you'll appreciate the dynamic ensemble in The Quantum Thief. Here, master thief Jean le Flambeur, the determined detective Isidore Beautrelet, and others collide in a high-stakes game across a dazzling Martian society. Their intertwining stories and shifting alliances make for a thrilling, character-rich ride.

If the complex morality of Kade and his allies—torn between the promise of Nexus and its dangers—captivated you, then Altered Carbon will hit the mark. Takeshi Kovacs is a former soldier turned investigator, navigating a world of body-swapping technology where every choice is morally fraught and the line between hero and villain is razor thin.

If the richly imagined future of Nexus—from nano-drug subcultures to global power shifts—drew you in, you'll be fascinated by the world of The Windup Girl. Bacigalupi’s vision of a biopunk Thailand is intricately textured, from calorie companies controlling food supplies to engineered beings like Emiko. The setting feels alive, dangerous, and meticulously real.

If the mind-expanding questions of Nexus—about how technology can alter minds, society, and what it means to be human—were what kept you reading, then Permutation City will absolutely enthrall you. Egan pushes the boundaries of selfhood and reality, following Paul Durham and his digital copies through a labyrinth of philosophical and scientific conundrums.
