Some authors dislike their works classified as sci fi because it's such a catch-all genre. E.g. A romance in space isn't in the romance genre, it's sci fi.

Just like some game companies don't like saying their games are FPS's. Because as soon as you say that, people make assumptions on the game. "Oh, it's just a first person shooter." "but it's about love and sacrifice and manipulation." "FIRST. PERSON. SHOOTER. I'll just play COD instead."

Though, after reading, this is as sci-fi as Metal Gear and Deus Ex, so I see no reason why it isn't scifi.
