Yes, I read the diamond age, actually at a really bleak and frightening moment in young Agatha's life. It's to her mom's credit that her kids aren't at all effected by her monumentally terrible choices. She did okay at doing terrible. I felt like the writer really overestimated as kids abilities by age but still liked it.
I feel like some of your suggestions aren't going to work for me because they're purely artifacts of our culture and not universal - which is the big fun of fantasy you know? That you can mock up and prototype different cultures and try and simulate what might be a universal or constant virtue.
