Low Level Science Fiction -A possible Sub-Genre?

[Clyde]

I have started a Listopia on "Low-level Sci-fi"
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/6...

In brief, I'd define (describe) the difference between Hard sci-fi and low level sci-fi as:

"Hard sci-fi inspires with ideas grounded in plausible science – Lo-Lev sci-fi is like getting the blue-print to implement an idea, presented in narrative form with emphasis on context."

I'd like to know:
1) Would members agree on the possibility of this sub-genre existing, culled from Hard sci-fi or Mundane Sci-fi?

For instance, Giulio Prisco - noted Futurist, Transhumanism Editor of KurzweilAI and former management of the European Space Agency has suggested
1)
2)
3)
and my book.

The aim is that Scientists, Engineers, Thinkers and DIY technologists can find a ready catalog to immerse themselves and bring the scenarios in these novels to fruition, or create derivative solutions inspired by the detailed science in these books.

(When reading, please ignore the review part of my book in the article)

Kind Regards

Perhaps the distinction from just hard Sci-Fi is between being plausible and being plausible right now? Maybe add a cautionary tale like The Circle.
