I find it weird that there's no mention of Terry Pratchett (RIP Pterry, nearly 10 years already :/) and his "narrative causality".

His writing is full of petaphores also: "Give anyone a lever long enough and they can change the world. It's unreliable levers that are the problem.", " "The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.", "Death grinned because, as has so often been remarked, he didn’t have much option. ".
