Yes. Science fiction is pretty much 100% about things that have already happened.
Colonization by aliens? Colonization by Europeans.
Robot slave uprisings? Human slave uprisings.
AIs taking over the world? Capitalism taking over the world.
Once you realize that sci-fi has to be about things that have already happened for writers to be able to write convincingly about it, it's hard to unsee. It's all just "what if the past but in the future???"
