this guy has spent his young life basically only reading, reading, reading. I don`t think there is a shortcut for achieving that experience.

Step one: every second word you use, look it up in a thesaurus and pick the longest synonym.
Step two: Pick the longest synonym of that word and repeat once a total of five times for each word.
Step three: Piece it all together and make sure you have huge run on sentences just to guarantee is sounds like total pseud gibberish

Just because a sci-fi novel uses a random STEM term doesn't mean you need to be familiar with the relevant field to understand the novel.

In fact, 95% of the time being familiar with said field will just make you autismad because the term is misused.
