I recently read Stand on Zanzibar (John Bruner, 1968) which trained the military to kill through “EPTifcation”(education for particular tasks). It’s set in 2010 and some (many?) of the predictions are spot on- E-cigs, relations with China, shiggy circuit (dating/hookup apps), widening social divides, scanalyzer (Twitter/Social “media”), militarized police force, corporations with near nation-state power, and of course an AI named Shalmaneser.
