Very cool! Try reading Paris in the 20th Century by Jules Verne! He wrote it way back in 1863 but it wasn't published until 1994.

He predicted some of the following:

Air conditioning machines
Skyscrapers
Gasoline-powered automobiles
High-speed trains
Calculators
The Internet (a worldwide "telegraphic" communications network)
Electric chairs (criminals "executed by electric charge")
Televisions

Dude was crazy brilliant!
