Has anyone heard of the George Orwell Classic "1984"? Actually written in the late 1940s, about what he perceived 1984 to be. This book has--over time--earned three distinctive chronological views. The first is the view of the future for those who read it in the 50s, the view of the present, for those who read it on 1984, and the view of the past, for those who read it now. I did not get the chance to go through all 3 three of those experiences, but some people have.
The perception can be compared to the time you read it, whether past, present or future. The book is a heavily modified version of the defintion of a futuristic soceity, not being confused with the cliche robots and technology necessarily, but more so a societal concept that influences the way of living.
1984 is a good read, entailing a man who refuses to submist to socities norms and laws and seeks to revolt to a society that forces with no remorse their political views (which is basically an off-defintion of terrorism). This young man begins to write a diary on his life (which is not allowed in this futuristic soceity), and is in hiding from a supposed Big Brother, which may or may not exist. Big Brother is a "Warlord" figure who is only known through posters--which say, Big brother is watching you--on walls, but because he is a leader (possibly figurative and or symbolic) that has never been seen before, he may very well not actually exist, but of course he may as well.
and the movie 1948 is completely lousy (based on this book).
Goerge Orwell captures a future of terrorism and totalitarianism, which are concepts of the now germinating. Orwel also claims that this is a book he holds close to im. Once you go through this one check out "Animal Farm" as well, another interesting depiction based on the Russian Succession
