Thanks for writing.
I’ve thought quite a bit about that issue as well, and if you’re interested, I put some of those thoughts (which discuss factors from the state of theoretical science to changes in the publishing industry) into another article over at The Fix a couple of years ago, “‘The End of Science Fiction’: A View of the Debate.”

I just found this website and read your wonderful essay. I have been trying to find out what happened to what I like to call’real’ science fiction, that is, fiction about the future of science. Your comments are about the future of politics, but at least it discusses the serious side of this type of fiction. While I loved comic books as a child, their elevation to near-serious status has left me sad. I am also saddened by the lack of what I consider serious writing (or at least successful writing) of the type I grew up with, Clark, Asimov, Bradbury, etc.
