      Psychic powers. Time travel. Antigravity drives. You know, the stuff you expect to see on doctor who.

      Maybe she means Hard SF doesn't have that stuff? The hardest SF I can think of is John C. Wright's Golden Age trilogy. Ironically, it's also the weirdest. Everything is realistic including the sociology and the economics. They only element I don't buy is the sophotechs.

      But it's so out of the norm for the Hard SF genre that it needs a bigger label like Mythic or Baroque. I concluded a while back that genre labels are a matter of artistic conventions, similar to music genres, and they exist for the convenience of the audience.

      I need to read the rest of that trilogy, you're right about the first one. Hard SF has the "Singularity problem". In a few centuries tech will advance beyond what we can comprehend today, which makes it hard to write the far future.

      I dealt with the problem in TS by putting in a major catastrophe and brakes on progress. Golden Age has it just keep going--and wow, things are so different from today.
