Soft science fiction, or soft SF, soft sci-fi, is a category of science fiction with two different definitions, in contrast to hard science fiction.[1] It explores the “soft” sciences (e.g. psychology, political science, sociology), as opposed to the “hard” sciences (e.g. physics, astronomy, biology).[1] It can also refer to science fiction which prioritizes human emotions over scientific accuracy or plausibility.[1]
