I think it's mostly this, modern writers just don't read old sci-fi or know anything about the current state of science, if they read at all. They're all fucking secondaries making fanfiction of fanfiction of sci-fi instead of, at the very least, adapting real sci-fi to another medium or writing actual sci-fi. There is no science in what they write, it's pure fantasy that happens to be in space or some other mumbo jumbo technological future. It's a feedback loop of parasites reinforcing the same tired old elements again and again.
With modern graphics and shaders, I'd love to see something by Greg Egan actually rendered, with skewed dimensions, non-euclidean topologies and all kinds of space-time fuckery. His work might not be very philosophical at all, and might be more theoretical physics fiction or math-fiction, but it'd look real good on a screen. There's little more out-there than a world where you can't turn more than 90° in each direction before elongating into infinity.
