Any social science focused story?

I was watching a video about Michael Crichton (idk if I can share the link directly without counting as spam).

In the intro, the youtuber explains how Sci Fi as a genre is historically centered mainly in physics, engineering, and a little bit of chemistry. And only relatively recently (according to him, thanks to the influence of Crichton) it has explored biology a bit more. But social sciences remain largely neglected in Science Fiction.

After watching the video, I wanted to ask here: Do you think social sciences have too little presence in the genre? And do you know any good scifi centered in sociology, psychology, economics, anthropology, and the likes?

PD: The wikipedia page for social sciences also lists subjects like linguistics, criminology, and political science. Those could be cool too.
