If you were drawn to the chilling premise of Vox—a world where women’s voices are forcibly suppressed—you’ll find The Power equally compelling. Here, women across the globe suddenly develop a physical ability that upends gender dynamics and exposes the fragility of social order. Like Dr. Jean McClellan in Vox, the characters in The Power must navigate new, oppressive systems and confront the consequences of both resistance and complicity.

If you admired Dr. Jean McClellan’s courage in Vox as she fights to protect her daughter and reclaim her autonomy, you’ll be riveted by Offred’s journey in The Handmaid’s Tale. Set in another chillingly plausible future, Offred’s quiet defiance and determination echo Jean’s, offering a gripping exploration of survival, motherhood, and the costs of resistance.

If the legal and political restrictions in Vox drew you in, you’ll find Red Clocks both striking and timely. Through the intertwined stories of four women in a near-future America with harsh reproductive laws, Zumas explores the personal and societal impact of government overreach. The emotional stakes and nuanced perspectives will resonate with fans of Jean’s struggle for her family’s freedom.

If you appreciated the close focus on Jean’s personal experience in Vox, you’ll be moved by Kathy’s intimate narrative in Never Let Me Go. Ishiguro’s haunting story unfolds within a small, tightly controlled community, drawing you deep into the characters’ emotional lives as they confront the realities of their existence. The quiet tension and human stakes are every bit as affecting.

If the bleak atmosphere and psychological tension in Vox left a mark on you, you’ll be captivated by The Water Cure. Following three sisters raised in isolation and fear, the story delves into manipulation, control, and the consequences of indoctrination. Like Jean’s internal battles, the sisters’ struggles are fraught with paranoia and longing, all set in a haunting, dystopian landscape.
