If the glossy rollout campaigns for the full-body “Plastics,” the ratings-obsessed dating apps, and that viral pop-idol tie‑in made you laugh and wince in equal measure, you’ll click with the skewering in QualityLand. Kling’s world runs on automated “best possible” choices, push‑ordered deliveries, and reputational scores that decide your job and your love life—just like the way the Plastics manufacturer in Plastic nudges people’s desires with perfectly targeted feeds.

If the checkpoint scans, brand‑loyalty perks, and corporate public‑safety zones around the Plastics resonated—the sense that the company protects you only if you obey—The Warehouse doubles down on that dread. Following workers inside a mega‑company’s live‑work compound, Hart shows how a single brand can become your landlord, employer, grocer, and police force, much like the Plastics maker quietly running the city’s rules in Plastic.

If what hooked you in Plastic was the tender, messy attempt to stay human—trying to love someone while feeds, metrics, and brand mandates (right down to how you wear your suit) judge your every move—then Super Sad True Love Story will hit the same nerve. Shteyngart’s lovers navigate credit rankings, live‑streamed status, and consumerist humiliation with a humor and ache that mirrors those moments in Plastic when intimacy tries to breathe under a plastic shell.

If you were drawn to the quiet defiance in Plastic—slipping the suit’s script, sneaking outside curated zones, and seeking a self that isn’t preprogrammed by a brand—On Such a Full Sea offers a haunting, lyrical journey. Fan leaves her regimented settlement and travels through corporate enclaves and lawless outskirts, her search for someone becoming a search for who she is, echoing the identity cracks that open under the smooth surface of life in Plastic.

If the uncanny rules in Plastic—put on the suit, forget the before‑times, perform wellness for the camera—gave you chills, The Memory Police channels that same eerie hush. On an island where objects (and people’s memories of them) vanish under authoritarian decree, a novelist quietly resists the enforced normalcy, much like those unsettling moments in Plastic when everyone smiles through a reality that’s growing thinner and stranger.
