I haven’t yet seen Heinlein recommended. There is a lot of discussion if Starship Troopers is supposed to be making fun of or supporting the military complex, but I’ve honestly laughed out loud many times reading it.
If you see the humor, I think it’s akin to Adams, but significantly less absurdist, while being way more politically involved. Slightly less political always by Heinlein: Citizen of the Galaxy (on citizenship and societies) and maybe Double Star (on the definition of self). Amazing but not corresponding to what you are looking for Stranger in a Strange Land, about religions, cults and sexuality.
This if you want to stay in sci-fi. The Dirk Gently series was already recommended, if you want to move towards fantasy. This being said, Hitchhiker’s Guide is as famous as it is because it is very unique, so I don’t think there is anything very similar out there. I’d love if you proved me wrong! Let me know!
