Soft Science is a poetry collection published in 2019, written by poet and writer Franny Choi.

Many of the poems in Soft Science appear in Choi's 2017 chapbook Death by Sex Machine.

Borrowed by Danez Smith, the term indicates the poems were necessary to "get things going" but not necessary for inclusion in the final version of the book.

[4] In Fields Magazine, Shannon Austin commented on the collection's treatment of language, writing that Choi "[...] plays with language, manipulating typical definitions, sentence structures, and grammatical rules in order to reject what we have come to think of as the norm".

[6] Writing for Lambda Literary, July Westhale praised Choi's language as "lyric and logical".
