I was gonna read that series anon, but now you've gone and ruined it... it's truly a doggy dog world..

What are some sci-fi novels with universes that don't feel like the author's country of origin but in space? I've been to Kenya and it feels weird reading about aliens that feel less alien than normies from another continent.

>reading simplified tales is not enough
True, but it as never intended to be enough. That's why education is supposed to consist of more than just fairy tales.
Also, you said earlier, "Works like this are not going to make her a better, smarter person," which is, first of all, a different argument than the one you declare a few sentences later, and second is not even remotely true. Mythology (when it's successful) teaches you to interact with the world in a profitable way. If the mythology in question is functional, and so is the mind absorbing it, then it works; that's why it exists in the first place, because it works.

You basically argue that fairy tales are useless because a stupid person might not get anything from it, then you move goalposts to something equally retarded.
