Fancy some sci-fi ala Douglas Adams with a smidge of Terry Pratchett?

I’m about ⅔ of the way through It’s Out There, and it’s not perfect, but it is very good.

The author is my daughter’s politics lecturer, so I may be biased. I was not expecting to laugh out loud so much and have to read bits out loud to my wife to explain about humanity trashing the planet, being the butt of galactic jokes, thinking the stock market is a good idea, or how AI is ruining things for us already.

There may be an equivalent of Captain Vimes’ Boot Theory in there somewhere
