It's about time I read something by this author. This looks like a good starting point. Oh! My TBR!

IMO better to start with a standalone, rather than the debut novel that's the start of a trilogy.

People usually recommend The Lions of Al-Rassan, Tigana, or the Sarantine Mosaic (duology).

Chicano Frankenstein by Daniel A. Olivas is $2 on Amazon.com (only)
Quote:
A modern retelling of the Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley classic that addresses issues of belonging and assimilation

An unnamed paralegal, brought back to life through a controversial process, maneuvers through a near-future world that both needs and resents him. As the United States president spouts anti-reanimation rhetoric and giant pharmaceutical companies rake in profits, the man falls in love with lawyer Faustina Godínez. His world expands as he meets her network of family and friends, setting him on a course to discover his first-life history, which the reanimation process erased. With elements of science fiction, horror, political satire and romance, Chicano Frankenstein confronts our nation’s bigotries and the question of what it truly means to be human.

I read this when it was released. Recommended.
More Canterbury Tales, more Roadside Picnic, or something else?

I haven't read Roadside Picnic yet. (I know )

This is a lighthearted "feels" kind of story about different people going on a road trip, each with their own issues and agendas. The glitches are not horrific - they're just things that exist, and attract people to them (for different reasons).
And it's not a story-within-a-story.
