Is Sci-Fi literature dead?

I love Sci-Fi, Aliens, Time Travel, Space Travel, black holes all that Futuristic stuff. But not too big on the whole Star Trek thing. But I can say I think the other guy is right, if Sci-Fi writers could connect with the readers a bit more, pull you in with your emotions, make you connect with the characters a bit then I think more people would read those types of novels. I feel like most of the futuristic novels out there make all the characters in the books seem cold and near emotionless (well have less emotion) and I don't particularly like that. I think some Sci-Fi gets thrown in with Fantasy and people look at it like it's going to be Aliens and Wizards fighting someone in some remote plane of existence in another realm and I don't know about you but when I read something like that on the back of the book, I instantly put it back. But when it comes to a book with a real story something that seems like a great read, then I'll give it a chance, but when it reads like a 10 year old playing make believe with a pen and paper, I just lose interest.
