I disagree. Fiction is the telling of stories which are not real. A "made up" story. To me science fiction is a made up story about future worlds or events with a techno basis. I don't think a book is "science fiction" just because it is based in the future... it's gotta be about the science as much as it is about the fiction... even if the science is totally made up and defies the law of physics, I'm ok with that. If you want to categorize that as "soft" SF... I'm fine with that too.
