Hard sci-fi. Hard science fiction is full of real science and data and numbers that all add up. It's very realistic and make up a smaller portion of novels
Soft sci-fi novels can be two things: Either they are not scientifically accurate or they're inspired by “soft” social sciences like psychology, anthropology, and sociology.
