Only America, Britain, and Japan make good sci fi, why do you think that is?

It isn't.
That's only what you've personally read.

What has been the best and most influential sci fi of the last 50 years?
David Perry
Japan doesn't make good sci-fi.
Adrian Long
Eastern Europeans, though.
Mason Hill
Subjective and based on availability.
Anything in English is going to have an undue advantage towards being considered the "best" and "most influential" .
China is putting out a lot of good sci-fi, and the government is even funding sci-fi authors as well.
Ryder Collins
If you want global sci-fi than read one of the various anthologies of translated sci-fi works from all over the world.
Anthony White
Why is anyone responding to OP?
All frogposters are trolls, idiots, or both.
Ryder Davis
Because those are the only countries that are already themselves sci-fi.
Blake Lewis
Expand on that
Luis Robinson
That's entirely wrong.
Henry Torres
I've heard good things about the Three Body Problem, but the little bit that I read was god awful. The worst professionally published prose I've ever seen.

Japan doesn't even make good books. Everything time I check the japanese corner of the a bookstore it's full of books about cats that die by the end of the story.
Jace Brooks
Most printed material in Japan is literally manga.
Lucas Reyes
>Why?
You like American, British and Japanese sci-fi
Joseph Rogers
Correct me if I'm wrong but china also has some very strict laws of what is allowed for sci-fi, which is why they're so set on funding it themselves so that they can model a "correct" image of the furure.
Robert Walker
Naturally.

It's not really that different from what the US did during world war II.
Jaxon Russell
From what I've seen, as long as it isn't anything critical of the government, it's more or less allowed..

First sci-fi movies were made for propoganda therefore Japan America Britain (and China althogh not mentioned) have the best sci-fi movies and also the most popular. Change my mind
Joshua Peterson
Chinese people already live in the most bleak (due to its very tangible realness) sci-fi universe ever conceived. To write in this genre would be pointless
Jason Wood
America as a young and rootless country has always only had the future to inspire it. It lacks the depths of antiquity of the old world.
As a result of this future-oriented mindset (which, granted, often devolves into complacent, slovenly presentism) science and technology as practical future-building arts have always been inspired elements of the American psyche.
This translates into the literature as well. Same can be said of Japan, except that they "caught the bug" from American culture post-WW2 and are similarly technology obsessed.
As for the British, the opposite is true. It is their past as the epicenter of industrialism and the birthplace of the modern world that inspires sci-fi.
Tyler Roberts
You're right. It doesn't compete. To me the Brits are the masters of sci-fi.
Joshua Hall
Best answer itt
Isaac Collins
It's original language was Chinese.
Luis Foster

I don't even like sci-fi and I've read all of them.
I hate retards who somehow convince themselves that their stunted view of the world is an objectively correct one.
Aiden Gutierrez
Probably Russian and Polish sci-fi. Who hasn't heard of Solaris, Stalker, Metro 2033 etc
