What's science fiction without the machines? (leminal.space)

I mean, we could speculate and explore the strange future and stuff. Just without that tired trope of "well, science and technology progressed a bunch and then we got this really great machine".

I mean there's gotta be another way. Examples?

I figure the main arc of the plot is "a mystery is revealed and its depths explored". That's basically Egan and Hughes right there.

Except we'd do it without the science/technology tropes.
