I think you're being a little harsh on modern authors. Yes, it's hard to find a good one and we've lost Terry Pratchett and Tom Clancy. But Neil Gaiman, Steven Baxter and Iain M Banks are still out there. If you want true greatness then yes, you'll have to look to the past because it doesn't come around everyday. Expecting everyone to match Robert Heinlein or Isaac Asimov's imagination is ridiculous, there is a reason they are famous.
