Loved Dune? Here's what we'd hand you next, and why each one earns the comparison.

The original

Dune

Frank Herbert

The Left Hand of Darkness

Ursula K. Le Guin

Shares both think and both sci-fi/classics with Dune. Science fiction used to genuinely interrogate what gender even is.

A Game of Thrones

George R.R. Martin

Shares both escape with Dune. The book that redefined how brutal and political fantasy could be.

Project Hail Mary

Andy Weir

Shares both think and both sci-fi with Dune. Genuinely hard science that somehow still reads like a page-turner.
