Philip Dick is a case in point. But that doesn't mean good science fiction is not being written or read. Making money has never been the only point.

I thought Holy Fire by Bruce Sterling was just an astonishing novel, though I am not quite sure that the new one by Gibson, Pattern Recognition, is really science fiction.
