Frighteningly accurate prophecy

In the 1960s, John Brunner wrote two astoundingly prescient novels, Stand on Zanzibar and The Sheep Look Up.  

In these dystopian times, it is a strange sensation to greet each new horror (like today's shooting in Troutdale) with a sad feeling of recognition and to think, "Ah, so he was right about that too."
