Well, if we break it down, 'fanfic' as mentioned before is about fans creating their own stories. However, 'hay sex' doesn't seem to be a known concept in the general fanfic world. It might be something very specific within a particular group or a made - up term that has no widespread meaning.

One book similar could be 'The Virgin Suicides' by Jeffrey Eugenides. It has a similar exploration of youth and the complex emotions within a community. Another is 'Less Than Zero' by Bret Easton Ellis which also delves into the lives of young people, their ennui and the often dark undertones of their experiences. And 'Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky also shares some similarities as it shows the inner thoughts and experiences of a young person in a somewhat troubled environment.
The book 'We Were Liars' by E. Lockhart has a similar feel. It's set among a group of young people and there are secrets, complex relationships, and a sense of unease that is somewhat like what you find in 'Palo Alto Stories'.

For instance, the development of certain algorithms in Palo Alto might revolutionize the way we use the internet. Also, the stories of how entrepreneurs from different backgrounds come together to create something new are quite special. They bring in their diverse cultures and experiences, which enriches the overall story of Palo Alto.
