I'd recommend Solaris by Stanislaw Lem, or maybe His Master's Voice.
You'll get a fascinating blend of psychological realism and eastern-euro science fiction, which I find fascinating (it is much more analog/mechanical, and also refreshingly real about scientific progress / knowledge creation vis a vi the human condition).
They are both rather short, also.

(Outside of that, i would definitely recommend Lem, esp. Fiasco, The Invincible, or Peace on Earth.) [*] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world
