I'm often not too happy at a lot of things labeled SF. But I have to be
honest with myself and say that I like a number of stories that are
considered SF, that I consider to have an SF "feel" about them, but yet
have little to do with science (you know, lots of space stories,
including a lot of Asimov's stuff).
Although I'm not sure why you'd object to 1984 as SF. It wasn't the
point of the book, but science/technology played a key role.
