We waited three years for Severance<\/em>\u2019s second season, and somehow it\u2019s already over. Hopefully the season 3 hiatus won\u2019t be nearly as long, but I, for one, am already mourning my weekly dose of the Apple TV Plus series. <\/p>\n

I loved knowing that every week, I\u2019d never be able to predict what was coming, and that I\u2019d be faced with provocative questions about the nature of identity, how to survive within arbitrary systems of control, the ways those in power test the limits of technology and what people can endure, and, of course, what the hell happens in the goat room<\/a>. No other show does it quite like them!<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re like me and already thinking about ways to fill time until Severance<\/em> returns, sure, there are plenty of things you can watch<\/a>, but there are also plenty of things to read, too. With cryptic, corkscrewy mysteries, poignant and comical workplace satires, and a byzantine horror masterpiece, these six books will help capture some of that Severance<\/em> magic.<\/p>\n
