I'm gonna give you a challenge. Find one piece of popular science fiction from the past century that didn't have some form of social commentary.

Sure. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the Neuromancer trilogy, and Snow Crash.

Those are the worst examples that I have ever seen in my life. The only way to top that would to be to throw in The Left Hand of Darkness, Deathbird Stories, and any given Octavia Butler novel.

Still not over this.
