Here I thought you were going to talk about Critical Race Theory ... and I was all set to get up in arms (whether you're pro or con) because scifi should be about the science! Good on ya!

Harder sci-fi may be more focused on the science but a big component of sci-fi as I understand it is exploration of humanity and its social dynamics in unknown/challenging environments. In which case CRT might indeed be relevant in some scenarios…

It can be about both, tbh. Dune was like that...it was not only super detailed on the science side, the environment and biomes being so detailed and all, but it also dealt heavily with politics and religion and how either can be abused by charismatic rulers. In addition, shows like Stargate, Star Trek, and Babylon 5 also had heavy themes of politics despite being hard sci-fi
