Come to think of it, "share and enjoy" is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.

This whole series of events feels very Hitchhiker's Guide.

Edit: Stranger in a Strange Land is a great book

Not going to lie, it was one of my least favorite Sci-Fi novels. Felt entirely too Just-So. The characters - particularly Heinlein's self-insert Jubal Harshaw - just came across as vapid, bigoted, and annoying. And so much of the book felt like a climax to an apocalypse everyone deserved (but not in a Douglas Adams funny way, just a deeply nihilistic "Everyone sucks and I hate it here" kind of way).

Since I read it in college (a long-ass time ago), I probably didn't mind the nihilism too much lol

I definitely remember the book going in a completely different direction than what I expected, which I liked!
