The Sad Sad State of American Science Fiction

It is sad to say that American Science Fiction has been in a percipitous Decline in the past fifteen years. The United States used to have great writers like Phillip K Dick, Isaac Asimov, Bob Heinlein and Frank Herbert. These writers were genuine visionaries. The same can not be said of the weak imitators who only write third party universe stories. The British are consistently coming out with better SF that what we yanks seem to be creating of late.
