Now that I think about it, “hard science fiction” is not about fictive sciences, but fictive (speculative) technologies. It should be called “techno-fiction”. And when it’s stories happening in universes with different physical laws, then it seems-to-me like it should be called something like “physical fiction”.
I like techno-fictions (like Black Mirror). I like physical fictions (like The Study of Anglophysics). I usually like less so-called ‘science fiction’ that are not techno-fictions nor physical fictions.
I generally don’t like space fantasies. “The Orville” is an exception; I like it uses this setting to talk about social issues in a wa0y that is more detached (ex.: instead of human races, it’s alien races).
