British tv has a lot of shows for free on YouTube: Jimmy Carrs "I literally just told you", Taskmaster, Qi, would I lie to you, 8 out of 10 cats... These are all bbc productions, so literally tv shows. All are panel shows with a comedic purpose, and different approaches.

I'd recommend tje authors Jack London, Joanne Rowling, Rudyard Kipling, Terry Pratchett, Arthur Doyle... in no particular order.

I recently learned that they did a study, where students took care of a robot for a few days, and then were told to turn it off. 50% of the robots were programmed to say "please dont push the power button". All of the participants who had a bot like that took longer to turn it off, and some even rejected to turn it off alltogether...
