Let’s clarify some literary terms.
Sci-fi means Science Fiction, or general sciences particularly. Emphasis on the general sciences as a major element in the fiction. Soc-Com refers to Social Commentary. Emphasizes discussing or hypothesizing some element of Social Science as opposed to General Science. Soc-Fi refers to ‘Social Science’ Fiction, not to be confused with ‘general science’ Fiction. It is primarily Social Commentary fiction in a fictional setting, sometimes incidentally using some principles of general science manipulation in the setting.
Many people get these terms confused and intermingle them. Some books actually do cross over.
Ray Bradbury wrote a lot of really good Sci-Fi. He also wrote some good Soc-Com or Soc-Fi and many tried to pretend it was still Sci-Fi. Fahrenheit 451 for example, was good Soc-Fi. Not much ‘Science’ in it, but a whole lot of ‘Social’ in it.
When I was in high school the English department tried to convince me A Canticle for Leibowit was Sci-Fi and not Soc-Com or Soc-Fi. The science in it was horrible.
