Anyone know any good books with similar humor to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? (literature.cafe)

Mallworld by Somtow Sucharitkul is pretty close as far as being absurdist humor in a sci fi setting. Collection of short stories involving a planet sized mall complete with drugs that make you float and rich people so obsessed with loosing weight they become floating heads.
