The biggest influence on me was probably Fraggle Rock. As a kid, I couldn't get enough of the intro to that show, which revealed an entire world underground. As for sf literature, the Foundation series introduced psychology as a driving force behind See Hugh’s answer.

Dark humour from the trenches

Great style, easy to read in one sitting, undoubtedly cathartic for the author and any readers who work in mental health; illuminating and humbling (for someone outside the industry). Feels like the author has just got st
