If you enjoyed this, Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation is what he has drawn heavily upon. He talks extensively about the "hyperreal" mental reality we exist within.

If you enjoyed that, you might like Phil K Dick's existential works like Flow my tears, cantata 140, hell anything of his almost. Even "the defenders" is a full on frontal assault on reality.

Finally, if you want to go clean off the deep end, read his Exegesis and Valis.

Oh man, Valis is the most interesting piece of physicalized mental illness I've ever experienced. I think it helps to already be very familiar with Dick's style when you read it.

And I'll also second all the rest of these recommendations as well.

Although it might be worth mentioning that it's somewhat contagious. Keep on squinting at the Black Iron Prison.
