In The Company Man, did you enjoy ...

... a goal-driven investigation in a mysterious, oppressive city?

The City & The City by China Miéville

If you were gripped by the relentless investigation and single-minded drive of Edward in The Company Man as he unravels a web of industrial secrets, you'll love The City & The City. Inspector Tyador Borlú's pursuit of truth in two overlapping cities is equally obsessive, with every clue revealing new layers of conspiracy and danger.

... morally complicated detectives in noir-inspired alternate realities?

Gun, with Occasional Music by Jonathan Lethem

If you were fascinated by the conflicted, ethically ambiguous protagonist in The Company Man, let Conrad Metcalf of Gun, with Occasional Music draw you in. Like Bennett's McNaughton, Metcalf operates in a world where justice, truth, and morality are shadows in the fog—making for a twisty, thought-provoking ride.

... richly detailed, dystopian corporate settings?

The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi

If the intricate, atmospheric world of Evesden—with its clashing labor, powerful corporations, and pervasive sense of decay—drew you into The Company Man, you'll be equally absorbed by the near-future American Southwest of The Water Knife. Bacigalupi's world is meticulously constructed, immersing you in every gritty detail of corporate power and survival.

... political conspiracies and power struggles in alternate histories?

The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick

If you enjoyed unraveling the conspiracies and watching the power players maneuver behind the scenes in The Company Man, The Man in the High Castle offers a similarly tense web of intrigue. You'll follow characters caught in the machinations of rival powers, never sure who to trust or what the next revelation will bring.

... multi-layered plots with intertwining mysteries and societal conflict?

The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders

If you liked how The Company Man weaves industrial espionage, murder mystery, and societal unrest into a single tapestry, you'll love the intersecting storylines and mysteries in The City in the Middle of the Night. Anders crafts a world where each character's journey overlaps and collides with the others, revealing unexpected connections and consequences.
