Another person chiming in to recommend anything by Becky Chambers! She is my favorite author of all time and her books are a warm light in what can be a shaky world we live in. The Monk and Robot novellas are a great place to start for a more philosophical and contemplative experience, but Wayfarers is what I read through first and they are all excellent. More of a universe building experience even though each story follows different characters (for the most part.)
