    1. ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 2 Oct 2018

      I was flipping through a novel by a well known SF author who I've read and enjoyed in the past. ...and I realized that it's garbage. I picked a few others off the bookstore shelf, and realized that...they're all garbage. Bad writing, flat characters, unrealistic behavior...

      He's been nominated for the Nebula and other awards dozens of times, and I can't understand it. His worlds - whether 10 years in the future, or 500 - feel like today's suburbs. His aliens feel like...people from the suburbs. There is zero sense of wonder.

      It's just bland crap. ...and I wonder if that's the secret. Extruded consistent, reliable pablum on a regular schedule. Makes me sad. This field used to be dominated by TITANS.

          I hate to say it but you are right. The WOW! of sci-fi is gone in most authors anymore.

          Happens in a lot of genres. I remember reading a book in the ‘action’ genre and realized that it was reusing passages from the previous book, which was also terrible.

          To be fair, even Asimov had a lot of stinkers. @monsterhunter45 does some fun stuff with a self-insert-as-accountant. And I'd rather Zahn's aliens-as-furries than Pratt's Weird Incomprehensible Liars. But the publishing boom has made digging for the good stuff harder.
