Another observation: the place where science fiction and futurism fails the biggest is social prediction. I'm having a tough time thinking of any old SF that got something right about the social side of the future.
OK, maybe Heinlein's prediction of sex cults... but that's only because people started basing religions on Stranger in a Strange Land.
