Looking for a sci-fi book
Could I get a few suggestions? I am looking for a sci-fi dystopian future from the perspective of a corpo.

It sorta fits your description: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, if you haven't read them already. Shoutout to the author/publisher for releasing the Ebook DRM-free!
Which definition of "corpo" are you using?
Wtf is a corpo?
I've never seen the term, but looking up definitions, the most likely is a "corporate executive." Apparently can also mean "body" or "corpse."
Glad we cleared that up 😂 Cheers!
Corporations that act as government or states.
Think Robocop. Stories that have such transnational powers also include things such as William Gibsons Neuromancer and Morgan’s Altered Carbon
If Murderbot (which is great) fits your description, you might also check out the Imperial Radch series, by Ann Leckie, which starts with Ancillary Justice. It's really great also.
I’d second murderbot by Martha Wells or the Laundry Files by Charles Stross starting with The Atrocity Archives.
The Planetfall books by Emma Newman are set in a corporatocracy.
Thanks for suggestions!
ghost in the shell manga if you like comics
Bobiverse books by Dennis Taylor are also a great read.
