I can't remember if Weir did this as well, but the guy for Ready Player One used reddit as like his focus group while writing didn't he? So that's peak reddit surely?

Wasn't it originally just a writing blog project?

What are the traits of such audience and why does the book cater to them?

Scientist or very smart character that the redditor view as an extension of himself. Nerdy humour that is just a cover for signaling intelligence. Superficial pop-sci explanations of science that allows the redditor to maintain the illusion of scientific literacy

I read both of those in the hospital in Seattle which is the case for reddit

we live in a disgusting era if an author wants his book to be accessible and entertaining, reddit is to blame for this, obviously

>I'm gonna science the shit out of this.
This one line would make anyone on Yea Forums throw the book against the wall, and everyone reddit do their specific gaping mouth faces.

are you that desperate for a sense of community that you would type this cringe?

wouldn't really say so, Ernest Cline is peak reddit. Weir is more like peak soulless person who reads his books because they want to seem like a person who reads regularly.
