Sabotaging the genre's most prestigious award for political reasons is a great way to ensure the future health of the field.

That was sarcasm, by the way.

I think SF is fine, too. I think it's changing and diversifying because it has to. Science isn't the same as it was in the 50s. And a lot of that 50s stuff would probably count as YA now, which is experiencing massive growth. (Also, quite a bit of it is absolutely terrible. Rose-tinted spectacles are a wonderful thing.) And even then, as I mentioned 8 pages ago, it declined more slowly than almost everything else last year.
