Example #1: the whole free-love thing kinda ran aground on the Age of AIDS and antibiotic resistance, while polyamory has become just another keyword. Example #2: Lovecraft focused his horror on themes of racial contamination (now largely exiled to the fringes), \\\"the truth of the cosmos might shatter human minds\\\" (admittedly some of the early quantum-mechanics researchers kinda lost it, but we\\\'ve gotten over it by now), and \\\"might the real rulers of the universe see us as vermin?\\\" (we\\\'re not too worried about that anymore, rather we\\\'re wondering why we haven\\\'t heard from anybody). More generally, the \\\"humans uber alles\\\" theme of much early 20th-century fiction looks kinda tacky these days.
ETC: OK, \\\"Soviets in space\\\" fall under TheGreatPoliticsMess-Up.

And then there\\\'s all the stories featuring \\\"Soviets in space\\\", either as the antagonists or the inheritors....
