Good Sci-fi is hard to write, as it is too easy to fall for silly plot devices, gimmicks, and tired clichés.

Space cowboys were replaced with thinly veiled dogma, meaningless cycles of ritualized tribal violence, and cheap nostalgic production grifts. Those that write about speculative Futures, are almost always talking about the present worlds flaws.

Anyone can publish now, and people simply stopped asking if they should. =3
