There are two novels from the 1970s by John Brunner that are astonishingly prescient: The Shockwave Rider (on computer networks and privacy, also introducing the idea of self-propagating malware) and Stand On Zanzibar (on the politics of global resource crises).

Let's hope The Sheep Look Up (on ecological collapse) isn't as close to the mark.
