The classics probably didn’t shoot for what’s happening now in the first place...
Sure, many mention the 2000s as a milestone, probably for aesthetic reasons, but the point of most sci fi isn’t to make a prediction about a concrete timeframe.
For our current problems and tech, I reckon some modern sci fi works (ex: Black Mirror, The Three Body Problem) do a good job of analyzing the current context and laying out some present and future implications.
