I am yet to read the book, but I'll interested to see if he covers #DouglasAdams. Early Adams seems to me a perfect example, with his "the last sane man in the world" outlook, lampshaded by the character Wonko The Sane.

Like Python and #RobertHolmes, many of his observations came from satirising the white, male Oxbridge BBC from within.

I wonder if his later work was a reaction to this, with better female characters and a clinically depressed humanism which was almost Vonnegut-like in tone.
