Fiction: Gideon the Ninth - which was both funnier than expected, given it's about necromancers, and also a great view of how very technical discussions appear from the outside

Non fiction: Probably "Becoming Trader Joe" really shows how business decisions are path very situational and path dependent. i.e. the whole store brand schtick of Trader Joe's started because of alcohol regulations

Gideon the Ninth was hilarious. Naomi Novik's Scholomance trilogy and Martha Wells' Murderbot series have a similar mix of great storytelling and snark.
