One reason I like Asimov is he managed to avoid this curse somehow. Wrote vast amounts of fiction and nonfiction, including explainer nonfiction which is dangerously prone to documentationitis, but avoided sounding like a Manual of Life

hah. or you can embrace the documentation aesthetic! Someone should really write fiction and package it as API docs. Sidebar to the left with chapters, main body in the middle, "code" examples that you can run to the right. Code would be events in the book.
