01
Demon Seed
Why this pick
Like The Terminal Man, it turns technological progress into an intimate, clinical nightmare, using cool modern spaces and steadily mounting dread rather than action-heavy spectacle.

02
The Man Who Haunted Himself
Why this pick
Its controlled, unsettling psychological suspense and a protagonist losing confidence in his own identity closely echo The Terminal Man’s paranoid, disorienting mood.
03
Seconds
Why this pick
A stark conspiracy thriller about invasive science and fractured selfhood, with the same chilly, pessimistic treatment of institutions reshaping a vulnerable man.
04
Coma
Why this pick
Michael Crichton similarly builds fear from credible medical procedures, detached professional environments, and the suspicion that a reassuring system conceals something monstrous.
05
The Parallax View
Why this pick
It shares the 1970s’ austere visual chill, institutional paranoia, and fatalistic momentum, allowing dread to accumulate through observation and uncertainty.

Harry Benson, an extremely intelligent (Intelligence quotient 144) computer scientist in his 30s, suffers from epilepsy.

He also suffers from delusions that computers will rise up against humans.
