5 eerie sci-fi predictions that quietly came true

Science fiction can be a genre that holds up a mirror to the present, past, and future simultaneously. Other genres of movies and television can do this, of course, and some have even accidentally predicted the future. But sci-fi can really capture the societal mood, or even predict it in ways viewers don’t see coming. For me, the best entries in this genre not only have biting commentary on society, but they remain relevant long after their release date.
