I started getting excited but then quickly realized that if I had to read a sci-fi novel about coding (or maintaining a codebase) I would throw up.

That makes it all the more rewarding when they sidestep it with something amusing, as in the given example. Having read 'A Deepness in the Sky', it is good, interesting, and not about coding. You can probably read it safely without having flashbacks to your life.
