The Madhouse Projects by Rick Badman

It follows the story of Dick Thurman, who was a former professor at a promising university. After getting kicked out of the academic institution, he was hired to be an automotive engineer in Arizona, specifically in the Madhouse. Dick works hard to create fly-wheel-power electric Indy cars that are meant to be used in racing. His wife followed him in the Madhouse and discovered something through a virtual reality program. Thus, the story becomes more interesting.

Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline

Have read or seen Ready Player One? Then, you might want to look into the second book of the series, which is Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline. It was published in 2020 by Ballantine Books and automatically made it to The New York Times bestselling list. The story revolves around the same protagonist, Wade. However, his squad — called the High Five, was scattered worldwide. Aech is in Senegal, Shoto is in Hokkaido, and Samantha is in Vancouver. Wade decided to examine his brand-new skills to keep himself productive. He discovered an inscription on the Easter egg of James Halliday. He followed the instructions and finds the very first functional headset of the OASIS Neural Interface and the action follows.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

The bestselling author of The Martian and Artemis penned another remarkable book titled Project Hail Mary.  It is a near-future sci-fi book that centers on the story of Ryland Grace, who regained consciousness after being comatose afflicted with amnesia for quite some time. Ryland slowly recalled that he was into a mission going to a solar system called Tau Ceti, which is 12 light-years far from Earth. The purpose of his mission is to look for the cause of the solar dimming activity that might put the humankind on the verge of extinction. Hence, the sequence of the story is delivered through a mixture of both flashbacks of Grace and the present narrations while they are already in the Hail Mary.
