Can you suggest me books in the style of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams? (kbin.social)

Those two are my favorite authors, but sadly I've read all their work and neither are making any more.

I absolutely love that style of writing and I'd love to know if there's more like them!

Maybe Ernie Cline, Ready Player One and Armada or Andy Weir, The Martian, Artemis, Project Hail Mary

I loved The Martian and Project Hail Mary, but I just couldn't get into Artemis for some reason.

I feel like Project Hail Mary needs more attention! Such an unexpectedly touching story.

I've stuck with audiobooks for Weir novels, and I think I'd agree on Artemis if not for Rosario Dawson's great narration of it. I end up relistening to it every couple years and still find it fun.

I can't imagine what Project Hail Mary even looks like in print...
