This is in the oeuvre of Murder Bot series by Martha Wells - there are a lot of similarities in theme, in story, in how the main character behaves and how he interacts with other people.  If you like Murder Bot, I think you'll probably like this too.

This was written in 2020 and if I had read it at that point I think I would have thought it was an unrealistic dystopian, but, in 2023 this seems increasingly prophetic.
