This should be a fun little detail in a movie or something like that, but booting is just loading data, and doing that from analog media is nothing new.
edit: tbf, the author points that out, too. It's just a little joke.
Nah, the data just sounds better on vinyl. Especially if you use valves instead of silicon transistors.
