I love sci-fi space or post human novels but am starting to run out of good stuff to read.

I'm not huge fan of military stuff or overly pessimistic dystopian book as they just leave me depressed.

I love AI and or machine based main characters.
Here are the books I have read already that I would say fall into this category that I am looking for, as a guide:

• Bobiverse series by Dennis E Taylor
• Singularity Trap by Dennis E Taylor
• The Martian by Andy Weir.
• Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir The Polity series by Neal Asher
• The children of time series by Adrian Tchaiovsky – I have read a lot of his wok.
• Shards of earth series The MurderBot Diaries by Martha Wells
• The Quantum Magician by Derek Kunsken
• The Wayfarer series by Becky Chambers
• Mal Goes to War by Edward Ashton
• The Discworld series by Terry Pratchet – not sc-ifi but always seems to come up. I have read them all and they are amazing lol.

 

Books I bounced off of that have been recommended to me in the past:

• The Expanse by James S. A. Corey – found it a bit predictable and didn’t like the characters. Loved the hard scifi nature of it though, so it’s a shame I couldn’t like it more.
• Old Mans War by John Scalzi – found it depressing.
• Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks – didn’t really like the characters or the stories.

The above are not bad book just ones I didn’t gel with and have been pointed to before.
