Under your definition, my book would be considered Science Fiction, since my story is based in the modern world about 60 years in the future. My novel is, however, decidedly Fantasy fiction.

The Harry Potter series is also based in the modern world.

The problem is that both genres are part of the broader genre of Speculative Fiction.
