Any recommendations on what to read after this one? I also have Piranesi Susanna Clarke on my backlog, but would like something in a similar technological fashion as Snow Crash

I've read all three but in terms of quality Ready Player One shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Neuromancer or Snow Crash. Those two was genre defining unique originals that were a departure from sci-fi of that time. Ready Player One was a list of movies the author enjoyed. It can be a funny, silly, relaxing read if you just want junk food, but it's not really comparable to the others.
