Enders game, speaker for the dead, ringworld, and many others are post-1983. Are those dull hard sci fi?

"Ender's Game" is a little boy fantasy, almost literally.

> Enders game, speaker for the dead

Truly not in the same category as stuff from e.g. PKD, by a very wide margin, especially speaker for the dead.
