Interesting article TW, thanks for sharing. Like most predictions, some he nailed, some he pretty much whiffed on.
I do not read much fiction, but I found Asimov's Foundation series to be exceptionally well thought out. You cannot predict history precisely, but on a grand scale you can predict trends, and, having predicted trends, you can take steps to mitigate the adverse consequences. I found that thought-provoking.

I was on a science-fiction kick when I was much younger, Asimov's Foundation series was almost required reading. I can't remember the plot or anything else about it now, and I wonder if I would enjoy rereading it now.
