This one of the Niven novels where they authors inserted a lot of the fans from the LASFS as characters. They also did that in Footfall and one or two others.

Ayup. I also thought this one pandered quite a bit too.

I find it utterly ridiculous, whether a decent writer uses fans names or when The Hack does.
