This is not at all a defense of the novel. I'm just curious to see how much the film replaces the older, sometimes more obscure geek totems with ones more viewers will recognize / feel nostalgic affection for.

And whether or not some viewers will react with things like, "Fuck this movie, I can't believe they took out all the references to Leopardon, the giant robot from the late-70s Japanese TV show Supaidaman!"
