And evolving things are nowhere near death.

Anybody who thinks SF is tapped out either has reached *their* limits, or needs to go think a bit. And a field whose older memes and tropes are being adopted wholesale by other genres and mediums is far from being tapped out.

As I said in the other thread: SF is a product of the times. The times change, so do the (good) stories. There will *always* be new ideas to explore (by somebody) so there will always be SF.

Should be interesting to see what comes out of that half-dozen, BTW.
