I listened to the audio book. Didn't seem like the worst book ever, seemed like a book made to guarantee a bunch of royalties. Wasn't the worst thing I've heard/read. I've read Ayn Rand which was definitely worse, but is still beloved by many. And here we are. Different people enjoy different things.

The claim in the headline isn't that it is the worst thing ever, just the worst thing produced by nerd culture.

The Ayn Rand comparison seems off the mark, because while they may have been embraced by a segment of nerd culture, they are not products of that culture.
