You could actually write a non-fiction book about the incidents and beliefs within this community and tell people it is science fiction and they would review it as exaggerated fantasy.

I recently was considering writing a post-apocalyptic science fiction story where people are on a quest to find Roko's deleted post, believing it to contain the key to defeating the tyrannical superintelligence.
