The most annoying part of a science-fiction book is when the author is so in love with a new technology in his time that he thinks that the future is basically that technology multiplied by a thousand. It would be like when pants were invented, a science fiction author being thrilled so much by it that he would think that in the future everyone would wear pants at all times and put pants on their hand and have houses that were pant shaped and drive pant shaped cars.
