Many science fiction writers would tell you, and have publicly stated in the past, that they don't predict the future and that's not their job.

Just by chance, you can go back and find stories from the past that seem prophetic now, but not going forward.

I don't think any sci-fi writers (that aren't dishonest) would claim their work is prophetic, but good sci-fi is taking how things are and changing just one thing and trying to describe how that might look as accurately as you can imagine.

The details are total BS, but sci-fi is absolutely a good vector for allegories and societal insights.
