List these devalued good ones, please. Some of us may not have read them and would like to.
Back to the main point of why SF is dying. Perhaps it is more germane to ask where are the new Clarkes, Asimovs, Strugatskis, and Dicks (Philip K., obviously, not the other type. We have lots of those).
It seems to me that the quality of sci-fi has dropped. I remember recently a French author was complaining that English-speaking readers needed to take more notice of French authors. He seemed unable to grasp that the writer must create work that makes readers want to read the work.
