If you enjoyed PHM, you might also like: - For a more horror take, "There's no Antimemetic Division" https://qntm.org/scp. Without spoiling, it's about people trying to fight against a threat that's impossible to remember about. - Ted Chiang's "Understand". Again without spoiling too much, it's about a man whose intelligence rapidly increased. - Harry Potter and Methods of Rationality. Yeah, I'm serious, if you like the "smart character solves problem by thinking" it's amazing.

Everything by Qntm that I've read has been great. Incredibly imaginative. I recommend Ra and Fine Structure in addition to the Antimemetics stuff.
I didn't like Ra nearly as much as Antimemetics... It started out really strong and then took a very weird turn. I should get around to reading Fine Structure though.
