How has science fiction evolved?

This article lists some science fiction, including alternate versions of the Gundam franchise that develops a different path from OTL due to Doomsday. I guess post-DD society would see the likes of Star Wars and Star Trek with much nostalgia for the days before the nukes fell.
 
How has science fiction evolved?
Science fiction has sort of evolved in some ways. Like often it will mention Doomsday or an equivalent to it.

Time travel, space colonization, terraforming, AI, robots, cyberpunk (although it be more like that of a different way) are still a common trope in Post-Doomsday sci-fi.

But also a huge genre in science fiction would be solarpunk, with settings where technology is mostly solar-based.

Furthermore in Australia and parts of South America, sexuality is often explored in sci-fi, especially with LGBT relationships being seen in positive light. As well as stories that explore the concept of post-racial society and post-feminist society (as in society where woman are fully equal to men).

I mean take my EDU take on Gundam, especially Gundam: After Earth.

Okay so update.

Finally a update? Wait huh?

Yeah this update is pretty much OOC, but I will explain exactly why there been no updates for the past few months.

There are numerous reasons and I will provide them right now.

1. I have no idea where to go next in future updates, so simply put writer's blocks.
2. I began growing very disinterested in my TL, seeing that it is based of an already existing alternate history (1983: Doomsday) and not being original has kind of made me feel a bit disappointing toward myself.
3. Life. Yeah real life has pretty much caught up with me and all. I mean just recently back in February of this my paternal grandfather (who I call Pop Pop Lou) died from a heart attack in his 70s despite being healthy in good shape. Now before you send you condolences, I am okay for the most part albeit just still shocked about it because it happened out of nowhere.
4. Lack of motivation is another factor why I haven't been updating this TL much. For the most part I have grown very disinterested in this TL and been doing less work on it.
5. Other alternate history ideas that original and unrelated to 1983: Doomsday, are some such things I have been exploring by myself. In fact if anything I really want to make a alternate history of the 2000s or early 2010s, something original and something that people of my generation Gen Z can relate to.

Now this doesn't mean this TL is dead, and this doesn't mean I have quit either. It just means that you guys will expecting less updates in the future. Do not worry I have not abandoned it 100%, yet. But if I do end up getting to 100%, I will let you guys know.

I hope you all understand, and I apologize if this recent update is disappointing. But it wouldn't be fair for you guys if I left ya in the dark.
