Fiction: - The Expanse series. Long but easy read. Great science fiction. I'm on book 5 so far. Non-fiction: - Bullshit Jobs. Even if you don't agree with the Author's premise in the end I think this book is thought provoking and worth reading. - Dying for a Paycheck. This book explores how work affects our health.

It sounds like The Expanse is what you want. The TV show is also very good.

The first Expanse book and most elements of A Darkness in the Sky are fairly hard, but the later Expanse books and A Fire Upon the Deep, I wouldn't consider hard SciFi. That said, A Fire Upon the Deep is one of my favorite all time SciFi books and I'd highly recommend it.
