If what moved you in The Silver Metal Lover was watching Jane discover real feeling with Silver—the way she’s drawn to his songs in the plaza and risks everything when the corporation threatens him—then you’ll love how Klara and the Sun lets an Artificial Friend quietly probe what devotion and humanity mean. Like Silver, Klara perceives the world with uncanny empathy, and the drama pivots on intimate choices rather than tech specs, asking the same aching question you felt with Jane and Silver: what, exactly, makes love real?

If you cherished the intimate life Jane builds with Silver in that shabby apartment—the tea, the music, the small domestic rituals set against a noisy world—A Psalm for the Wild-Built offers that same gentle closeness. A tea monk and a curious robot wander together, talking about purpose and need with the same soft, searching mood you felt when Jane and Silver stepped away from salons and corporate parties to make a private world for two.

Jane’s break from her controlling mother and glittering social set—running off to live with Silver despite outrage from friends like Clovis—mirrors Binti’s choice to leave home for Oomza Uni. Binti captures that same brave, transformative step into the unknown, where culture, selfhood, and survival collide. If you loved watching Jane grow into herself through love and hardship, Binti’s journey will resonate deeply.

Like the way Jane questions what Silver is—and what their bond means—amid a society that treats him as property, Never Let Me Go centers on Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy as they face a system that defines their worth for them. The hush of the boarding school echoes Jane’s withdrawn, reflective narration, and the slow, devastating realizations will feel familiar if the emotional undercurrent of Jane and Silver’s fate stayed with you.

If your heart was in your throat when Jane first heard Silver sing, then fled her cushioned life to protect their fragile happiness from recall and scandal, The Mad Scientist’s Daughter will hit the same notes. Cat grows up with Finn, an android who becomes her closest companion and great love, and their relationship wrestles with status, legality, and the world’s refusal to see him as a person—just as Jane fought to see Silver as more than the corporation’s creation.
