A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers
The second book in the sci-fi series my daughter chose for me. It remains full of high-tech, interesting characters and various alien species. It is essentially a book about deep friendship, especially that between Pepper, whose childhood was spent as a slave in a recycling plant, and Sidra, now in a humanoid robot body but once was the AI on a spaceship. It downplays any difficulties with species diversity and has a certain charm.
