Yea, I was thinking pretty explicitly of SciFi, from the 60s/70s vs modern SciFi.

I'm sorry, but I just don't agree. I love 70s sci-fi, and have aread a huge collection of weird books... But none of them have prose as good as some of the modern books, such as The Final Architecture, The Expanse, or even Red Rising.

And it's worth remembering what decade it was written in, a lot of the older prose and pacing hasn't aged well.

I upvote nearly everything, helps drive engagement and keep Lemmy healthy.

Its pretty rare that I downvote, guessing a 90/10, 0or 95/5 split

Artificial, bought a friend's tree second hand 8 years ago.

Thinking about replacing it next year. Have a toddler, and trying to make Christmas more special, and this one's old enough it's lots a lot of it's needles
