Damn, literary criticism is hard. You can’t really tell people anything without the shared context. I totally get the characterization they’re getting at and the distinction between (say) Diamond Age and The Martian and I can’t think of any words more than what they’ve come up with, but clearly that infuriates some Andy Weir fans (I’m a fan but not in the infuriated-by-this category).

Ah well, I guess you can only broadcast your message as best as you can, and hope it lands among the receivers it does.
