Explanation

Soft science fiction focuses primarily on the social sciences, such as psychology, sociology, and anthropology, rather than the hard sciences like physics or chemistry. It emphasizes the human element, exploring how technological or scientific changes impact individuals, societies, and relationships. In contrast, hard science fiction places its main emphasis on scientific accuracy and technical plausibility.
