Daemon
For fans of Altered Carbon's gritty cyberpunk intrigue and societal decay, Daemon delivers a high-stakes tech thriller where a rogue AI orchestrates chaos in a world of digital overlords and shadowy power plays.
Red Rising

It's all visceral action, moral gray areas, and subversive takedowns of power that echo Bester's psychedelic prose and breakneck pacing. Perfect for fans hungry for more underdogs flipping the script on systemic injustice.
Revelation Space
For fans of gritty, philosophical sci-fi with anti-heroes delving into ancient alien mysteries amid interstellar conflict, 'Revelation Space' offers a similarly cynical take on humanity's future, blending hard science with relentless action and existential dread.
The Quantum Thief
For fans of telepathic cat-and-mouse games in futuristic societies, this novel delivers intricate mind heists and posthuman intrigue in a solar system where memories and identities are the ultimate currency, echoing the psychological depth and innovative world-building of Bester's classic.
