@Phosphenes The center of gravity of the genre has slid away from the cishet white men (and good riddance). Diversity is good! But also, I'm coming up very short of rigorous extrapolative SF that isn't also barkingly reactionary shite (the right wing absorbed hard SF). And then … I burned out on the genre, too: I don't read much of it any more, it's mostly not speaking to my interests (which remain with the field, but not of it).
