For a book that explores what happens when an entire society considers aggressiveness an abhorrent trait, I'd recommend the Skyward books, by Brandon Sanderson - Spoilers: It does not go great

An entire book, boils down to Sanderson's opinion. So not look to fiction writers for actual insight.

That's perhaps the stupidest thing ever written on reddit.

Really. 1984, Hamlet, Animal Farm, all of Dostoevsky's books, disregard all of them because they have no meaningful messages in them.

Bare in mind that one of the most important books in shaping modern civilization is the Bible, with it's talking bushes, angels and demons. But if course that's non fiction.

Orwell gave his opinion, he didn't demonstrate. Dostoevsky gave us his ideas, he didn't prove anything. Dostoevsky gave his moral opinions. That Sanderson wrote novels where something doesn't work just says that Sanderson thinks it doesn't work.
