I'm all on board with Sci-fi being political... But referencing or involving current politicians or contriving the plot to revolve around a current political issue takes your Sci-fi and dates it.

Apparently Sonos patented using a volume rocker to adjust volume on multiple devices. Because you know, that's not obvious. I mean clearly since that's the intuitive way to do it for a user...
