Consider Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. Recommended by 8 sources.
“Cloud Atlas launches six distinct narrative strands across eras and registers, showcasing wild genre shifts—from adventure and epistolary memoir to speculative and post‑apocalyptic set pieces—held together by recurring motifs and stylistic bravado. Reading rewards attention: motifs and echoes accumulate into a thematic chorus rather than a single linear plot. Main limitation: the deliberate fragmentation and frequent voice-switching can dilute emotional continuity; sections sometimes feel like sharp pastiche instead of fully rounded narratives, so readers wanting steady immersion may find it frustrating.”
