Free: 356 Issues of Galaxy, the Groundbreaking 1950s Science Fiction Magazine

Along with Astounding Science Fiction and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Galaxy Magazine was one of the most important science fiction digests in 1950s America. Ray Bradbury wrote for it--including an early version of his masterpiece Fahrenheit 451--as did Robert A.

I wonder why real science fiction has gone out of fashion. The only thing on the shelves these days is fantasy.

Good question. I don't know.

Like you, my reading of SF, overtime, has diminished substantially. Seems that I have replaced reading with watching SF movies.
As an aside, today I ran across another article concerning Starship Troopers. My endless peeve concerning that movie is that those discussing never seem to realize that the society portrayed in the movie is 1950s US culture.
One hard SF writer, who is still alive , is C. J. Cherryh. She is "following the curve" in writing less and less. I haven't bought her new book yet.

Since it seems that you have a difficult time with decision making, for a nominal fee, I can help you with narrowing down what you should read.

It's a happy dilemma
I just finished a Dean Koontz series called Jane Hawk, and started a new book called "The Object".

Although I have never really gotten into science fiction very much, yet, I always used to appreciate Star Trek when I did see it.
There was something authentically moral about it that you just don't find any more very much and I absolutely loved that aspect of it, thought it was healthy for the viewers.

Reminds me of Walker - Texas Ranger, which I feel the same way about. Always emphasizing doing the right thing, de-emphasizing violence, and de-glamorizing it. Emphasizing family, marriage, etc.

Actually you deserve a compliment. I bought a tablet to read book, but never have. I guess they simply don't replace books, though you would expect that.

I have a easier time reading from a kindle vs reading from a computer or tablet.
