I found the dispossed to be actually a hard sci-fi novel, when it comes to people. The truth is that many people want emotional-porn, disguised as worthy literature which allows for "felt" adventures without actual challenges to the mental cosmos. I still wait for actual hard-social-sci-fi - but its author(ess) would be hunted down the streets by the mob. Because humans are deeply flawed, and exploring those bugs and the hacks used by meta-organisms (like companys & states) would make for a thoroughly uncomfortable read. TL,DR: There is very little hard, uncomfy social scifi. Because we rage when dragged out of our mental comfort zones.
