Is it just me, or does the volume of high quality non-fiction content written every year greatly exceed the volume of fiction content? Would love to stumble across some new sci-fi fiction series, but always find myself going back to my favorites (Dune, anything Asimov, etc)

Have you read any of Peter F Hamilton, Alastair Reynolds (pushing ice is a fun stand alone book), or James S. A. Corey

Could it be our definition of sci-fi has shifted the possibility space of creating or writing sci-fi? (Literally throwing this into thin air not because I can support any side of any “argument”)

Ada Palmer, Vernor Vinge, Ann Leickie are all great sci-fi reads and wrote in this century (my fav vinge books in the 90s tho).

I wonder if this holds when you zoom out. What is considered great non-fiction today may not be so in five years.

Most people don't get past elementary school's 'write what you know'. We just get to know more. Fiction is harder.
