If you loved Elma York's relentless pursuit to break barriers for women in space, you'll be drawn to Shevek's quest to develop a revolutionary physics theory while navigating the political and social complexities of two contrasting worlds. The Dispossessed offers an equally compelling journey of ambition, scientific discovery, and resilience.

If you admired Elma's determination as a mathematician and pilot facing sexism and adversity, Hidden Figures will captivate you with the real-life stories of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson—brilliant Black women mathematicians who helped launch NASA's space program while overcoming immense social obstacles.

If you enjoyed the meticulous scientific detail in The Calculating Stars—from engineering challenges to orbital mechanics—you'll be fascinated by Seveneves, where humanity's survival hinges on audacious space engineering and collaborative problem-solving after an apocalyptic disaster.

If you loved the camaraderie and teamwork among the Lady Astronaut Corps, you'll be charmed by the warm, quirky ensemble aboard the Wayfarer. Each crew member brings a distinct perspective and background, making The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet a delightful read about found family and big dreams in space.

If the post-meteor impact worldbuilding and the exploration of how society copes with disaster in The Calculating Stars resonated with you, Station Eleven offers an intimate, beautifully written look at survival, hope, and rebuilding community after a global collapse.
