"I'm convinced that the only way to like that book is to..." I must strongly disagree on your position that only people with specific histories may enjoy a specific book. I think I recognize science (MSc in physics), my fiction (enjoy everything from Chekhov and Tolstoy to Banks, Clarke) and found the books as damn entertaining read. It's fiction! If I want "real science" I will do a refresher on my quantum mechanics, CS algos or peruse the latest Economist. Silly stories have their place, and some of us enjoy an entertaining yarn (if a yarn is 'entertaining' is then again a matter of taste).
