Could be burnout; though technological pervasiveness has often been a major theme in SF. It could be that we're burned out on the themes that have been big over the last few decades, and SF hasn't developed new themes fast enough.

Personally, I don't consider movies and TV SF to be "inferior to" literary SF as many people clearly do. They are different mediums, with different demands, and some of the greatest SF has been put on celluloid--as my earlier post illustrated with movies. Some TV examples:
Star Trek et al;
The Twilight Zone; The Prisoner; Firefly; Farscape; Babylon 5.
For the record, I think some of my novels would make good movies, too. (I've probably said that somewhere before...)
