Mickey7 by Edward Ashton (well, actually the sequel right now, finished the first book yesterday). I was actually surprised at how good it was given that I haven't heard much buzz around it. Though that might just be me having my head buried in the sand, because apparently there's a movie for it coming out next spring, so it's hardly an unheard of gem lol

But yeah it checked all the boxes for me

interesting characters with a fair amount of development
fascinating thought experiments about the nature of consciousness and continuity
fast paced plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat for most of the book
interesting aliens and a mysterious planet
semi hard scifi

That sounds like something I could enjoy. I'll have to put that on my to read list.
