John Scalzi's Redshirts and Kaiju Preservation Society are pretty good for sci-fi about ride-or-die friends, although don't hit quite the same notes as Chambers does.

It's like interpreting 'when kids start learning numeracy skills they should start with basic addition' as 'we should never teach anybody complex mathematics'. Blatantly absurd. When doing *anything* new surely it's just good sense to start at the most accessible and approachable point.

This is why I'm more of a fan of Jane Austen in *concept* than in practice. Love what she was doing, do not love reading her doing it.

Like, if I were in any way hearing-impaired this accessibility feature would not be doing much to improve my access to this programme. (Better than nothing, but still, surely they can do better.)
