What do you call this type of scifi? Could you also recommend some fiction with this vibe?

Preferably books but anything will do.

As presented it is the more cheery side of cyberpunk. The others tend to creep in older tech tells (steam or other), and the ship doesn't look very shiny and new, so there's a taste of used there, even if it's not very old, like Star Wars tech always feels, even in the brighter parts (like on Coruscant). Definitely AI source, a human artist would have put details like wear marks, debris on the ground, little things to give an age feel.
I'm actually working on figuring out my own scifi tech as background material for a novel, and AI is not create at coming up with things visually. I've hammered out the ideas in text, but now I'm trying to find ways like Blender to bring them to life to better see it.
