Isabelle Turner from Printerinks created this expansive chart of books that forecast the future.

    Apparently that Stand on Zanzibar book got a lot of things right. Never heard of it. Of course science fiction also got a lot of things wrong too, like life on Venus and Mars.

    Very imaginative writers.
    I am partial to Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.

    Yeah that's surprising since I've never read it Pat. Science fiction is still fiction of course.

    Jules Verne's work is incredible even by today's standards.
