I have to agree with you there. The old Science Fiction is still better than a good deal of the modern stuff with some exceptions. I don't know why that is, but there is almost an atmosphere about them for lack of a better word, that a good deal of modern SF seems to lack. Maybe because what was known to be impossible was less set than it is now, I don't know. I've bought a number of collections of classic SF at Amazon for my Kindle, but I imagine what is there is just a tiny fraction of what has been written between the start of modern SF (as a genre) and the early 70's onward.
