If you were captivated by the way The Light of Other Days used the WormCam to challenge the boundaries of privacy, identity, and the nature of reality, you'll be fascinated by Permutation City. Egan crafts a world where digital consciousness and the science of self are pushed to their limits, much like Clarke and Baxter’s speculative technologies. The intricate detail with which Egan describes the technical and existential ramifications of simulated life will deeply appeal to your appreciation for hard science fiction.

If the epic timeline and historical breadth of The Light of Other Days—tracing humanity’s transformation as the WormCam reveals the entire past—drew you in, you’ll love The Years of Rice and Salt. Robinson’s novel is a vast tapestry of alternate history, following reincarnated souls across centuries as they shape and witness the world. Like Clarke and Baxter, Robinson masterfully blends intimate lives with the sweeping scope of civilization’s evolution.

If you found yourself pondering the profound implications of the WormCam—what it means for truth, privacy, and the fate of humanity—in The Light of Other Days, then Contact will resonate deeply with you. Sagan’s novel follows Ellie Arroway as she grapples not just with first contact, but with questions about faith, science, and the very nature of existence. Both books use advanced technology as a springboard for exploring humanity’s biggest questions.

If you appreciated how The Light of Other Days built a richly detailed world where new inventions reshape culture and personal relationships, you’ll enjoy Rainbows End. Vinge’s vision of a near-future society—where augmented reality and ubiquitous computing redefine daily life—echoes Clarke and Baxter’s attention to the social and psychological fallout of technological change. The worldbuilding is immersive and thought-provoking.

If you enjoyed how The Light of Other Days followed various characters—scientists, journalists, and ordinary people—each offering a unique perspective on the WormCam’s impact, you’ll find The Dispossessed equally rewarding. Le Guin’s narrative alternates between two contrasting worlds, using multiple viewpoints to explore themes of freedom, society, and the individual’s role in shaping the future.
