There are, for example, no light sabers, spaceships or Death Stars in the 1979 novel "Kindred," by Octavia Butler, who won the Hugo and Nebula, sci-fi's top awards, and was also awarded a MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Grant. Just time travel, race and lots of kinky sex.
This somehow being more science-y then light sabers and space ships.

“Star Trek” did race, “Star Trek” did time travel, “Star Trek” implied kinky sex.

Kinky sex has been a major driver of SciFi awards.
