No, modern sci-fi evolved over time like all the other complex stuff tends to.

Modern sci-fi is created by every fellow with a strange idea. Who thinks maybe I could get my idea across better if I framed it as a narrative and put it in scientific terms. because science is such a lovely language for talking about strange ideas.

Yes, like I said, fetishwear. Nonfunctional costumery

But you don't need spaceships and aliens to do that. It's just fetishwear at that point.

In real scifi it isn't fetishwear. It actually serves a purpose.

Greg Egan, Iain Banks and Sam Hughes are good stuff, if you haven't.

No, that's just your damn limited, dominance games obsessed perspective talking.

My point is actually the quality and appreciation of modern science fiction.

I don't refer to mary shelly. I do not distinguish her as the "inventor" of science fiction either. Rendering strange ideas in terms of esoteric disciplines for the metaphorical augmentation or whatever is as old as humanity.

Dumbass is the new sinner.

Nazis. Take away the snappy logo, uniforms and motivational speeches. What have you got?

A crew of adventurous billionaires and their million pawns.

No Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. I tried a little and gave up.

Never used any music or video streaming service. Yo ho
