Not to be pedantic, but Star Trek predicted that America would experience an extreme period of inequality and social decay in the 21st century, only finding its way out of its selfish, destructive ideology after being ravaged by nuclear war. Seems pretty accurate to me (minus the whole genetic engineering war interregnum, but who knows, it’s only 2020...)

Amusing that a date picked in 1990 could end up accurate when you consider shifting religious demographics in Northern Ireland and the potential impact of Britain leaving the EU.
