Consider some of Ernest Cline's other works, such as Armada and The Importance of Being Ernest. In addition, Ready Player One shares a lot of thematic and stylistic similarities with Orson Scott Card's iconic science-fiction novel, Ender's Game. Students may also enjoy foundational near-future science-fiction texts like Andy Weir's The Martian and Artemis, or Phillip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and A Scanner Darkly. Finally, for a more comedic spin on the classic science-fiction tropes, students could read Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
