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. :-)

Air by Geoff Ryman is about the social consequences of a technology that is like having the internet in your head. It is set in village in Central Asia, and deals with what it is like to live in developing country durning such changes.

That book sounds so relevant to my interests; you have no idea. Thanks so much for the recommendation!
