Uh, Pat, I know you're kinda sorta retarded, but the "Sci" in "Sci-Fi" stands for "Science" (one of those subjects you failed, as is openly and publically known since your HS transcripts leaked), and the whole point of it is to have some scientific accuracy, or at least internal consistency when you break the rules of physics. It's not just "I can make up anything IN SPAAAAACE because it's fiction and the future", the whole idea is to take technological concepts and their consequences and develop them into your narrative.
You might have done a lot of work to pump out a book. Spent hours researching if belt buckles or a specific brand of yogourt is contemporary or not.
Still, all this research is not only pointless to the actual story, but probably detrimental in some respect to the narrative. Especially with Pat, if he spends 20 minutes researching the origin of a sugar cube, I can guarantee you're going to read about it way more than you would have wanted to.
This gimmick only works on people if you can actually produce content they enjoy reading, and are subtile enough with it. If it connect with the story.
If I am reading something about evil AI or something, I would enjoy some anecdotes that connect with the plot and clearly involved research. The history of the sugar cube, probably not so much. At best, it's just filler.
