(Anonymous) 2022-02-16 12:41 am (UTC)(link)In general, I think one of the challenges for sci-fi as a genre is that ppeople writing sci-fi do actually pay attention to what is a plausible future, what are future trends, how does the future feel and look, what are contemporary developments in technology, and so on. And I don't think that it necessarily should pay so much attention to that personally, I'm fine with space opera being a wild exercise of imagination. But empirically people care a lot about science fiction's relation to reality.
And IMO you can see that, for example, with how much science fiction right now is basically "space program science fiction" that's aesthetically very aligned with contemporary trends in space exploration - that's the vibe of space exploration in The Expanse, for example, and it's basically how Cixin Liu's and Andy Weir's stuff seems to work.
