If you were captivated by the epic journey of immortal characters like Hanno and Asagao, you'll be enthralled by Hyperion. It weaves together the stories of seven diverse pilgrims as they travel across worlds and centuries, facing mysteries as grand—and as poignant—as those in The Boat of a Million Years.

If you enjoyed following a cast of immortals from different eras—Roman centurions, Viking warriors, and more—Riverworld brings together every human who ever lived on a mysterious planet after death. Its sprawling ensemble cast and their evolving relationships echo the rich diversity and depth of Anderson’s characters.

If you found yourself ruminating on immortality, the cycles of civilization, and what it means to be human—much like the immortal travelers in The Boat of a Million Years—The Years of Rice and Salt offers a sweeping alternate history, tying together reincarnated souls as they grapple with fate, loss, and meaning across centuries.

If the existential quandaries faced by immortal characters like Nornagest and Svoboda fascinated you, Permutation City will challenge your mind with its deep dive into consciousness, identity, and the nature of reality—raising questions that linger long after the last page.

If you appreciated the meticulous construction of civilizations and cultures through the ages in The Boat of a Million Years, The Dispossessed will immerse you in two contrasting societies, exploring their philosophies, politics, and daily life with Le Guin’s signature depth and care.
