- -Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon
- The imagery of a highly fictionalized 1893 Chicago World's Fair combined a class struggle mirroring the Vox Populi conflict makes for a setting that's very reminiscent of Columbia.
- -Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
- Contains similar imagery to Against the Day and stated by Ken Levine to be a source of inspiration for Bioshock Infinite.
- -The Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons (Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, Rise of Endymion)
- A number of characters in this series have corollaries to those of Bioshock Infinite, including a dynamic very reminiscent of Booker, Elizabeth, and Songbird.
- -Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
- The questionable philosophy in this book was a major inspiration behind the city of Rapture.
- -Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfeld (Leviathan, Behemoth, Goliath)
- A young adult novel that focuses heavily on airships and "dieselpunk" technology reminiscent of what you'd see in both Rapture and Columbia.
