In summary, social science can greatly enhance world-building in cyberpunk and space opera novels by providing a deeper understanding of human behavior and societal structures. By incorporating elements of sociology, psychology, and anthropology, authors can create more realistic and believable worlds, as well as explore complex themes and issues within their stories. Social science also allows for the exploration of diverse cultures and perspectives, adding depth and richness to the fictional worlds. Overall, the integration of social science in these genres can elevate the storytelling and create a more immersive reading experience for audiences.

Hi, I'm Mark, a cyberpunk / space opera novelist looking for assistance with world-building so I can accurately convey the physics in my next novel. I'm a social scientist by education and profession. I posted a question. Thanks!
