Is The Lottery by Shirley Jackson Sci Fi?

The Lottery would fall in that broad grey area that separates Science Fiction from regular fiction.It all comes down to how you define science fiction:Hard science fiction: Inclusion of the physical sciences: physics, chemistry, biology, nuclear science, astrophysics etc. In this case The Lottery would not be science fiction.Soft science fiction: Exploitation of the humanities: sociology, anthropology, Law, etc. In this case The Lottery could be considered Science Fiction.Interpolation and extrapolation. In this case The Lottery could be science fiction if it were constrained to the realm of soft science fiction."What If" Easily science fiction as no great 'forgiveness' for scientific deviations are made in this story."Utopia / Dystopia" Yes easily science fiction."Gadgetry Science Fiction" no.Science Fiction is that body of work to which we point when referencing the genera. I'm sure that there are many people who would be willing to include the Lottery as science fiction.
