Books – Science fiction is dead. Long live science fiction. For those of us who care, the future of futurism is an urgent matter indeed. Is science fiction thriving amid the pyrotechnics, or is it dying a slow and hideous death, suffocated by publishing-industry group-think and unimaginative movie execs drunk on sequels?

Great story. I am a Sci-Fi fan and I am also disappointed by recent movies and TV shows.
The stories are getting really weak and excellent scifi movies are rare these days.
I am certainly not going to watch Transformers.
It's the same with TV shows.
I disagree however with the statement that scifi has become more accepted these days then back in the 80s. I believe back then is when scifi had its finest hour (Alien, Blade Runner ...)
A good scifi show like Firefly is canceled on mainstream networks in favor of regurgitated reality crap and people love it.
If it isn't shown on SciFi Channel it has virtually no chance these days.
BTW, I love this quote:
"There's too much bling on the screen."
"I disagree however with the statement that scifi has become more accepted these days then back in the 80s. I believe back then is when scifi had its finest hour (Alien, Blade Runner ...)"
And SciFi's finest hour on TV may have been The Outer Limits in the 60s.
