Sci-Fi is not famous for those traits - so at least I want to be intrigued by currently futuristic ideas and concepts.
Reading dead sci-fi authors, to me, seems a waste of precious reading time.

I don't think characters in sci-fi books can get much better or livelier than in "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" by Robert Heinlen. Would you miss it simply because Mr. Heinlein passed away a long time ago?
