Plenty of scientifically-grounded tech and space exploration to go with the social consequences thereof.

I know Joan (and have met Vernor.) These days, she's married to Jim Frenkel, who is currently a Senior Editor at Tor Books. When they first started dating, after Vernor divorced her, Jim was Joan's editor at Dell's SF line, and both were very concerned about potential conflict of interest issues, and very careful to keep their personal and professional relationships separate.
