In The Book Of Koli, did you enjoy ...

... the lush, dangerous post-apocalyptic worldbuilding?

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

If you were fascinated by the overgrown forests and mutated flora threatening Koli's village, you'll be captivated by the hauntingly beautiful, ruined landscapes of Station Eleven. Mandel crafts a world reshaped by collapse, weaving together the remnants of civilization, survivalist communities, and the ever-present wild as characters search for meaning in what's left.

... the raw, immersive coming-of-age journey?

The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

If Koli's transformation from a naive boy into a resilient survivor resonated with you, The Knife of Never Letting Go offers another gripping journey of self-discovery. Follow Todd Hewitt as he flees his hometown, confronting truths about himself and his world in a relentless, emotionally charged adventure.

... the bleak atmosphere and emotionally charged survival?

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

If you appreciated the dangerous, often hopeless tone of Koli's world, The Road will immerse you in a stark, harrowing journey through an ashen, post-apocalyptic landscape. The father and son’s struggle for survival is deeply moving and atmospheric, much like Koli’s desperate search for safety and belonging.

... the exploration of environmental collapse and adaptation?

The Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler

If you were intrigued by the way Koli’s world has been reshaped by out-of-control nature and humanity’s impact on the environment, Parable of the Sower offers a powerful look at a future ravaged by climate disaster. Lauren Olamina’s journey through a devastated America, forming new communities and philosophies, echoes Koli’s struggle to survive and adapt.

... the soft science fiction approach exploring humanity and society?

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

If you loved how The Book of Koli used its future setting to ask big questions about what it means to be human, Never Let Me Go brings a similarly subtle, character-driven approach. Kathy and her friends’ quiet lives in a dystopian society are unravelled with gentle melancholy, exploring memory, identity, and the limits of freedom.
