The worst Kevin Costner movie ever...
No, wait, 'Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves', the worst Kevin Costner movie ever...
No, wait...
A lot of 1970’s science fiction was very political as well. Soylent Green, Logan’s Run, Planet of the Apes, ZPG, etc.
NY flooded? Bring it.
Pretty obvious how science fiction explains climate change.
Scientism Fiction.
You are right. I used to so enjoy those “Best Of” compilations until they morphed into SJW screeds vaguely disguised as a science fiction tale, often lacking the basic elements of good story telling. Lauded and given awards by their fellows in the industry. Hence it is hard to even find a science fiction book on the average rack these days.
Baen still puts out good stuff. And a lot of the better stuff now is Indie, on the Amazon platform. . .
Places to avoid: Tor Books (except for David Weber)
Orbit Books
ANYTHING recommended by I09.com or Cory Doctorow / Boing Boing
