No. Science fiction is defined as > a form of fiction that draws imaginatively on scientific knowledge and speculation in its plot, setting, theme, etc. [source](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/science-fiction) A story could take place in any time period, and meet that criterion, after all, Star Wars, one of the most popular Sci-Fi works of all time, is stated to have taken place 'a long time ago'. Along with this, a book can take place in the future and not be Sci-Fi, though if it does then it's more likely in the near future. A book meant to take place a year from now might not have many new technologies, a book meant to take place in 1000 years probably will.
