Popular Science: Is Science Fiction About to Go Blind?

"Awed at the pace of technological advances, a faction of geeky writers believes our world is about to change so radically that envisioning what comes next is nearly impossible."

I love Vernor Vinge but creating a whole subgenre for "Singularity Fiction" might be stretching it a little bit.

Update: I just noticed this huge usenet thread on that very topic.
