there’s also Mary Robinette Kowal. Her Lady Astronaut of Mars series begins with a large-ish asteroid crashing into the Atlantic and wiping out a lot of the Atlantic coast, including Washington DC. What follows is very much like vintage hard-ish sf except the narrator is a Jewish woman who flew planes being ferried in World War II and is now a great mathematician married to a great engineer, and who has a really serious anxiety disorder. Mary knows about these things and stirs them into the story along with an appreciation of social and individual toll taken by institutionalized bigotries, the complexities of mental health, and everything from there to why it makes perfect sense for the narrator to know Mr Wizard but not realize it. The series is heartwarming, frequently funny, pro people belong cools me knowing and doing cool things, anti scumbags being arrogant jerks, and pro people pulling together to try salving an emerging doomsday challenge. Just wonderful work.
I have never heard of this. Thanks for the recommendation!
 




On days I'm angry at everyone and not driving on the interstate myself, I'd almost rather go to Finland's "day-fine" system

Otherwise, yes, Sweden's is much better.

IMO there are many instances where speeding is safer than not. One example is going quickly around a semi truck in the interstate instead of passing it at a snail pace.

There’s also a weird effect where speeding can cause you to have increased awareness of surroundings.
