Also, don't underestimate the appeal of even "dated" SF. Especially now that alternate histories are a sub-genre of their own.

And there's no telling what the future will bring in terms of genres and sub-genres. After all, by current standards one could conceivably (retroactively) label Verne as Steampunk.
dated technology? dates all wrong? its an alternate universe.

steampunk probably owes its entire existence to verne lol
