I Grok that! Norton yes! Heinlen YES! And the modern sci fi writers just don’t have ‘it’ compared to those greats you mention IMHO

Agreed. I haven't read SF in years, but it's funny, every time I go to the bookstore, which is weekly, I wander over there and look around.

98% of it is Star Trek/Star Wars or LOTR variations or vampire romances.

The rest is postmodern navel-gazing.

The few space adventures are plastic, with boring characters.

So I read other stuff.
