Why science fiction is dead
Or at least not looking too good.
And there’s such a retreat to steampunk (which I despise):
That’s why so much modern mainstream literary fiction (from Vonnegut on to DFW, Chabon, Lethem, etc.) is essentially what would have been SF earlier. And no one even blinks. Is it just a phase, and will it fade out as the technological future changes in ways we can’t imagine? Or have we imagined them all?
