   This isn't really sci-fi.

   This is a normal trip to the emergency room with search and replace for sci-fi terms.

      Often that's exactly what scifi is: using futuristic situations to talk about present-day problems.

         Space opera too.

         This is what the best sci fi is. Using context shift and a drizzle of “what if”, provide enough distance from a problem to help readers think about it anew.
