Neuromancer. It’s kind of the originator of cyberpunk. The book has it all. Hackers, AI, and a high stakes heist. I recommend it because Its very good but also imo a page turner.
It’s part of a trilogy but isn’t really a continuous story. They are all just in the same universe and have a few characters popping up in each book.

The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells – the books follow a human/AI construct who was designed to be a Security Unit. It hacks its programming to have free will but keeps doing its job to not get found out. It also discovers television and media and decides it would rather binge watch its favorite show than go on a murdering rampage. The first book (All Systems Red) was recently adapted into a tv show on AppleTV+ and it’s been renewed for a second season that I believe will adapt books 2-4. Most of the books in the series are novellas, so under 200 pages

Remembrance of Earth’s Past by Liu Cixin
I want to be as spoiler free as possible, which makes it hard to give a good description of the plot. It begins with an investigation of mysterious deaths within the scientific community and a super advanced VR game and continually gets more intense and mind blowing. I’ll just say that the series has it all.
It’s concept heavy, but not so much that the story gets bogged down. Some people complain about 1 dimensional characters. I’d say that may be true for the main character in the first book, but I see him as more of an observer or stand-in for the reader. Ye Wenjie and Luo Ji are two of my favorite characters in any sci-fi.
