Hi hi hi!

Several of the ones I would rec have already been listed (The Goblin Emperor, the Vorkosigan series, Ancillary Justice).

I would add:

Terry Pratchett's Discworld - it's a loooooong, delicious series that switches POV focus amongst different character types, so at least one is bound to please.

Connie Willis, "Bellwether" - a comic novel about corporate "productivity", management crazes, and creating/monetizing fads that is still relevant 25 years later.

Diane Duane, The Tale of the Five series - a beautiful fantasy series about power, grief, finding your purpose, and coming to terms with trauma, with found family all over the place.


ETA: Oh! I almost forgot Martha Wells' "Murderbot" series - a grumpy (and fannish) cyborg hacks their governor control module to gain freedom from their corporate overlords' commands, and proceeds to discover feelings and loyalty and other icky humanish attachments.
