People seeing scifi works as somehow prophetic is something I will never understand..
Prophetic? Fuck no. Cautionary tales that unfortunately turn into self-fulfilling prophecies? That's a different story
Scifi is kind of reverse prophetic, a lot of people become scientists because they were into scifi and at the end of the day we need to imagine something is possible before we can invent it.
