Sci-Fi Trends We Want More Of (And What Needs to Go) | Writers Bloc | Ep.14

What does modern sci-fi need more of? And what needs to disappear into a black hole? In this episode, we break down the best and worst trends in science fiction across books, movies, and TV. MORE of this: – Video-game style power systems – Multiple POV stories and bold first person POV – Settings that actually drive the plot – Tighter, 10 percent shorter books – Better action choreography in novels – Utopian futures (Solarpunk over endless dystopia) – A new space western (yes, we’re looking at you, Nathan Fillion) – Low-stakes stories set inside massive worlds – Broken, taped-together future tech LESS of this: – Single-biome planets – Endless dying Earth stories – Loud space explosions – Disposable red shirts – Predictable alien horror – Teenage drama dominating epic settings – Future tech that only works for the hero We’re talking worldbuilding, storytelling craft, sci-fi tropes, and where the genre should evolve next. Agree? Disagree? What trend did we miss?
