I'm not sure if thats a fair statement to be honest. To me Sci-Fi is less of a genre and more of a setting for a story. A lot of Sci-Fi i've seen i do find boring but authors such as Ursula K. Le Guin can turn the genre into something that uses the setting of the future to represent the clashing ideologies of people today (in her "The Dispossesed".)
More Philosophy than Sci-Fi but Rosi Braidotti's "The Posthuman" is a great book about ways that the line between human and machine is being blurred with the advancement of technology.
it also stems in a way from the cyberpunk movement of the 90s, with such films as the matrix, mentioned earlier, ghost in the shell and the book neuromancer by William Gibson.
Sorry for the ramble...
