One only has to look at the science fiction of the sixties and seventies to see much of our world today.
For example, John Brunner and his books like Shockwave Rider, The Sheep Look Up, and Stand on Zanzibar to see things like the internet, computer viruses, nanotechnology, etc.
Even a number of cultural references. My favorite is the "autoshout" feature of the modern commercials for broadcast. Definitely here today (and has been for some time).
But he wasn't the only one, there were many others as well.
