People Will Look At Classic Dystopian Sci-fi Like "wow How Did The Author Predict This Would Happen"

people will look at classic dystopian sci-fi like "wow how did the author predict this would happen" and the answer is they didn't. they hoped and hoped this wouldn't happen. (some of them, the lucky few perhaps, even died believing the worst had been averted.) these writers took a look at terrible things happening around them, and imagined a future where these terrible things dominated and warped reality, and they held it up to the audience and said "see? does this future not appall you??? it has already begun."

dystopian fiction isn't a prediction. it is a warning and a PLEA

Me and my friends only argue about facts and about things in a specific field and it actually makes me laugh because we’re so passionate about it and we get really annoyed with each other but I feel a sense of unconditional love for them about it because look at how we’re bonded and the silly things we argue about because we’re passionate about knowledge. I love my friends. They’re so smart and passionate and have a great future out there for them.
