This 83-year-old novel has received some new attention for certain parallels with the current U.S. administration. Set during the time it was written, Lewis imagined the rise of a populist figure by the name of Buzz Windrip who rallies to defeat FDR in the 1936 election. A recent New York Times articleoutlined the similarities between Windrip and T...
This perennial bestselling author who traffics in military slash spy thrillers has managed to make a couple of accurate predictions over his career. It was this installment of his popular Jack Ryan series in which the story climaxes (spoiler alert) with a hijacked 747 crashing into the Capitol building. While the novel is about a fictionalized conf...
A more recent addition to the list, Shteyngart’s dystopian satire caught the attention of the New York Times a year after it was published for anticipating the Chinese debt debacle that resulted in the S&P downgrading the U.S. credit rating. Set in the near future, Shteyngart’s world is more extreme than present reality, but certain aspects ring tr...

Brin’s novel has become a sort of barometer for the dismal course of climate change. What did he get right? In addition to a series of accurate technological adv...
Butler is another writer whose foretold rise of a populist demagogue has since drawn renewed interest in the Trump era. The two books touch on all the classic features of a premonitory dystopia i.e. global warming, the rise of fascism, growing corporate influence and staggering inequality — but one detail is exceptionally eerie. The second novel, P...
Perhaps more than any other book, Stand on Zanzibar has gained notoriety for its sheer accuracy. Set in 2010, the novel imagines a world not that far off from events that transpired in the surrounding decades—long after it was written. Brunner imagined the formation of the EU, the economic decline of Detroit and the rise in global terrorism. Other ...
