If you were fascinated by the androids’ struggle for identity and purpose in Tower of Glass, you’ll be gripped by Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. Here, Rick Deckard’s pursuit of rogue androids in a post-apocalyptic world raises profound questions about what it means to be human, the boundaries of empathy, and the rights of artificial beings. The book’s philosophical layers and the androids’ yearning for real experience echo the existential dilemmas faced by Silverberg’s androids.

If you loved the intricate society of androids and the world Silverberg crafted in Tower of Glass, you’ll be enthralled by the depth and complexity of Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed. The book delves into two contrasting civilizations—an anarchist moon and a capitalist planet—through the eyes of physicist Shevek. Le Guin’s meticulous worldbuilding and exploration of societal structures offer a similarly immersive experience.

If the oppressive social structures and critique of power in Tower of Glass resonated with you, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley will captivate you. The novel’s vision of a rigidly controlled society, engineered citizens, and the cost of utopia offers a sharp, thought-provoking look at conformity and rebellion—much like the androids’ struggle against their human creator.

If you were hooked by the single-minded ambitions of Simeon Krug and the androids’ quest for recognition in Tower of Glass, you’ll be riveted by Alfred Bester’s The Stars My Destination. Gully Foyle’s obsessive pursuit of revenge drives a breakneck plot across the solar system, with action, intrigue, and a protagonist whose determination shapes the fate of many.

If you appreciated the psychological complexity and existential questions faced by both humans and androids in Tower of Glass, Solaris by Stanisław Lem offers a mesmerizing, cerebral journey. Psychologist Kris Kelvin’s encounters with the sentient planet Solaris force him to confront his own memories and guilt, mirroring the deep introspection and emotional struggles found in Silverberg’s work.
