“The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet,” by Becky Chambers Space ship, mixed crew of aliens, humans, and an AI … great read; qualifies for the Campbell award for new author. May or may not qualify for Hugo, was (I think) self-published 2014, first mainstream (Hodder & Stoughton) publication 2015.
[Ed to add]: May be part one of a series, hard to tell, can be read as complete, does not end on a cliffhanger.
