I don't know what this genre would even be called…
I was looking forward to a book a heard about called "The One". The premise was something like "in the near future, DNA can be used to match up couples… but everything is not as it seems"
I expected this was going to be FICTION but about the science and the scientists and possibly about the marketing and politics involved.
But… it's really just people using a dating app "with matches based on your DNA" and it's just multiple story lines about multiple couples.
It's "romance".
What I WANT is something more… technical? More about the science. Perhaps also politics and business. NOT necessarily about dating/matchmaking. Doesn't have to be that at all!. But maybe a new technology in the near future. Maybe with unforseen "side effects" (could be medical or political or business social or financial "repressions")
I do like Science Fiction that takes place in space. But that's not what I am after here.
I returned "The One" without finishing it. It also had story lines where one person had died and one was dying, which is hard for me for another reason, but that's not my point in this quest. I still have this itch for something more "technical"
Any suggestions? Any idea what this genre would be?
THANK YOU very much!

it was very complex for me to find a genre of this type, but the most I found was the name Hard science fiction, and honestly, I don’t even know if this is in fact a genre, but I found some books with this genre
• klara and the sun by kazuo ishiguro
• qualityland by marc-uwe kling
•The Peripheral by William Gibson
I know I haven’t given many books, but these are the “best” (in my opinion) I’ve found, according to the things you said.
note: I’m sorry if I got any words wrong, or something, I’m learning English, and I used a little bit of Google translate, and everyone knows that it’s not like a native speaker.
