      A more serious Dune thought: one reason SF is coming to the fore right now is that it's the one genre that really grappled with planetary ecology -- the tradition of Hal Clement, Herbert, Le Guin, Robinson & (shifting into fantasy but still ecology minded) George RR Martin.

          Broken Earth trilogy by @nkjemisin is a good recent example of the genre.

          It's nice to see a reference to Hal Clement. I took a class with him in college. What a wonderful man.

          Another reason SF is coming into the fore "right now" is the 1966 premier of Star Trek, the 1977 premier of Star Wars and a half century of heavy promotion of space opera.

          Our problems are so big they demand planetary solutions. Only science fiction can contain that

          The Mars Trilogy could make a great series in the right hands (and probably a rather bad one in the wrong ones)
