I just finished reading the book series, the Laundry Files and prior to that I read the series Murderbot. I'm looking for a suggestions to similar books. Thanks in advance!
The Bobiverse books scratched a similar itch for me. Different tone but same kind of snarky AI perspective and lots of space exploration.
You might also like Ancillary Justice. The AI narrator angle is really interesting and the worldbuilding is great.

If you love cats (and I mean love cats) and sci-fi, I’ll recommend **Kitty Cat Kill Sat; A Feline Space Adventure** by Argus. Imo, its is in the same vein as All Systems Red since there is some violence (though no graphic gore) in line with Murderbot’s exploits, and it has that element of the MC looking for the comfy things in life, but always something getting in the way.
Murderbot just wants to watch its shows and not worry about humans getting into trouble. In the same way, the MC Lily, an uplifted sentient house cat, just wants to lay down in the observation dome of her space station and soak in the suns rays, but there is always a maintenance alarm, damaged section of the station, or a multidimensional alien invasion she needs to deal with, and don’t get her started on the bland bricks the food processor has been spitting out for the past hundred years, a cat has needs and good tasting food is one of those.
