I agree to a certain extent, but this isn't taking into account that a lot of stuff that was written into science fiction is still quite far from reality, especially concerning space travel. Larry Niven was amazing at building intriguing worlds that pushed boundaries, for example. But we've fallen into some tropes, recently, and I think that science fiction nowadays is often more "gritty" and less speculative, which is a shame.

So what, if it's "far from reality?" That's your problem? As I stated below, Hard SF used to be set hundreds, thousands, even millions of years into the future. Why is this not the standard anymore, I wonder?

I guess I didn't state myself clearly, but my point was that I don't think that "us living science fiction" today is an explanation, since we're still very far from most sci-fi realities....

I have no idea how you even got that from my comment, tbh, I read all the old-school sci-fi and mentioned Larry Niven positively, and that's pretty straight-up hard sci-fi.
