Which 21st century author or book would be the closest parallel to Franz Kafka's works?

8 hours ago 5

I've long felt Kafka's works (The Metamorphosis, The Castle, The Trial, etc.) unveiled the alienated nature of modern, industrial society better than any other author, especially how our lives depend upon and are determined by bureaucracy or other abstractified systems.

However, given that these writings were published roughly a century ago, I imagine there must be authors or books of the 21st century who are analogous to the relation Kafka's reflections had on the 20th century.

Which written works come to mind to you?
