If you don't like it, don't read it.
I personally liked it from the start, but it's got a style that's not easy. Also, a lot of it is very dated, so when you read about things like pocket sized VCRs it won't make much sense.
As a 90s kid I can still relate to the dated stuff somehow. But some of it is genuinely funny 😄
In "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" the computer has gained self-awareness. It was already running all the computer operations for Luna. The hardest thing it had to do was create CGIs.
There was snail mail sent by starship in 'Starship Troopers.'
Mike ran on tape memory haha
I forgot that detail. I do remember they talked about him using 'computer paper.' We had a machine that used that stuff on my job. I think they finally got rid of it around 2012.
