After Disclosure by Richard Dolan is written entirely from the hypothetical viewpoint of what aspects of American life change the day after the US government formally discloses extraterrestrial life. https://a.co/d/jdnKLAH

Hail Mary is pretty good, shows human-alien interaction without the classic "it's a humanoid that speaks your native tongue" trope.

Check out China Mieville's Embassytown for a perspective of humans extending their colonial imperialism to other planets and the impact on other cultures.

How about how disruptive can human existence be if the said human was brought up by aliens? I recommend Stranger in a Strange Land

Not directly related, but I assume you have read the Grabby Aliens hypothesis?

this is a great πŸ‘½ read, recently translated from Korean. β€˜Walking Practice’ by Dolki Min The story revolves around a gender-bending alien who crashes to Earth and hunts humans for food. The alien changes gender to appeal to its victim, has sex with them, and bites their heads off at their moment of orgasm.

have always found District 9 a realistic depiction of how an encounter with aliens on Earth would be like https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1136608/ but not a book of course.

Read the short story 'State of the Art' by Banks. Small spoiler: the hyper advanced Culture civilization observes Earth and ruminates on whether to make contact or not Also imo a really good analogy from real life is civilized humans observing/contacting remote uncontacted tribes

Suggest reframing the scope to focus on first contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. This includes interdimentional as well as interplanetary exchanges. Look at sociological and anthropological takes.
