Here's a vote for David Brin's novel "Earth"... full of amazingly prescient ideas regarding the social effects of communication technology, transparency... and especially his Helvetian War* as part of the backstory, though presented as metaphor... it's beginning to look entirely too possible! * A 'financial war' when transparency results in the world population finding out that a lot of crooks have a lot of the world's wealth!
