Some people are just not all that interested in people. Science fiction is one of the few genres where it is somewhat acceptable to write stories that explore ideas and not feelings.
I still wait for actual hard-social-sci-fi - but its author(ess) would be hunted down the streets by the mob. Because humans are deeply flawed, and exploring those bugs and the hacks used by meta-organisms (like companys & states) would make for a thoroughly uncomfortable read.
TL,DR: There is very little hard, uncomfy social scifi. Because we rage when dragged out of our mental comfort zones.
