Social Science Fiction

[jain]

I'm looking for science fiction books that are based more in sociology and other social sciences than in the hard sciences. The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin exemplifies what I'm seeking...as do many of her other books, but I was hoping to read some good books in this genre written by someone other than Le Guin. :-)

Ooh, me too. ::sets up notifications and waits eagerly::

I think The Wrath of Trees by Bard Bloom is along those lines, but I haven't read it yet.

Thanks for mentioning it. By the same token, I believe that Doris Lessing's Canopus in Argos books (Shikasta and its sequels) are in this genre, though I've been hesitant to begin them due to Le Guin's ambivalent review of the series, so I don't know for sure.
