Some might I suppose. It fits a bit like "alternate history"

Generally to be SF or Fantasy or Speculative fiction there must be some component, technology, or something that is not "real" in everyday life. I think in Atlas shrugged it was all "real" just with secret plans societies etc. (I've not actually read it). In 1984 the first unreal thing is the two-way viewscreens that big brother uses - something that was certainly speculative at the time it was written.
