Of course science fiction has social significance !
I think Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov had some very keen insights into the social significance of science fiction. I read where one of Asimov's science fiction stories in the 1950s could be interpreted as an attack on the foolishness of McCarthyism. I must do some homework here.
Also, unlike the New Atheists, Asimov and Sagan had more sensitivity on matters important to religious people - the MILLIONS of them - mostly working class !
