reddit = Liberal soyboys who spend their days tipping fedoras at each other, declaring their enlightenment before gorging into their Jewish produced capeshit films

4chan = A Spartan like conglomerate of striffing modern underground men, pitting each others wits and mental fortitude all towards a common goal of truth and freedom in a hyper-real dialectical battleground against a world ripped from all its sacred foundations

RPO is a book for nerds and it's a well written story told with the aid of nostalgia.

Yeah it's gotta be this. You can read it in a single day, the dialogue is awful, and it focuses on a quirky engineer who solves his problems with humor and science.

It's absolute fucking garbage that pisses on the legacy of everything it touches by using it exclusively as reference points. I'm normally not the "your taste is shit" type, but in this specific case, you're objectively wrong.
The fact that the narrator likes things you liked when you were a kid doesn't mean it's a good book.
The fact that you fall for such blatant pandering so hard does mean you are a dumbass.
