Why don't we have good sci-fi anymore, like we did in the late 60s to early 80s...

The space race really helped, they could make some money from what was currently going on or just happened, now everyone is about capeshit so that's what is made

The industrial era (first sci-fi age) and the postwar period (second sci-fi age) had exhilarating leaps and bounds of technology. In those times, scientific potential seemed limitless, especially to the layperson. The space craze is behind us now. No more monumental government investments, and fewer vast chasms in theory where unknown things roam.
Computers were interesting for a decade, contributing to an appropriately intense but short lived sci-fi wave. Now they too are played out, reduced to a smaller role in the current milquetoast sci-fi. The current state of the genre, featuring politics, (Children of Men, District 9) hardish sci-fi, (Sunshine, Moon) and AIs, (Her, Ex Machina) suggests a gradually gestating future sci-fi that's waiting to take off. These are tentative attempts to imagine the future. At this point, just one great work or event could set off a cascade of creativity.

Good stuff appears here and then. The 60s-80s had a ton of godawful sci-fi, worse than you could imagine, but it’s not as remembered as the greats. It’s like music. We remember the hits, forget the shit.
