Have read it, and noted many of the predictions. Another presaging author was Ian Banks, who in his Culture sci-fi series predicted humanity's rapid dependence on mobile phones (called terminals in his books) as a willing slavery of convenience.

Excellent choice of author! I also have most of his books. 🎉
