I think MurderBot by @marthawells.com is hilarious. So very sarcastic, but like a soft cinnamon bun inside once they meet nice humans.

I don't need convincing on those, I just need Martha to write more of them!

Soon I will be Invincible - Austin Grossman

Most anything by Scalzi. Starter Villain especially.

I've read all those already!

Give Johnny Nexus a try. My favourite is The Sleeping Dragon but if you've ever been a GM Game Night is also pretty funny.

I did not mention Douglas Adams because it felt obvious; but came back to say that the Hitchhiker's Guide is great, but the first Dirk Gently book is my favourite book in all of space and time!

I haven't reread that in years, not a bad idea to go back.

* We Are Legion (We Are Bob)
* Heinlein for the classics?

I'm just going to have to buy the Bobverse book(s), I put in the request for my library to get it after the first few times it was recommended, and they keep rejecting it.

"Space Opera" by Cat Valente

Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series is more steampunk than sf, but it's hilarious. Start with Soulless.

Thought of another thing: Charles Stross’s Laundry Files series. British bureaucracy + Lovecraft.

Harry Turtledove’s The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump
