List of predictions
There have been various notable predictions made throughout history, including those by scientists based on the scientific method, predictions of social and technological change of futurologists, economic forecasts, religious prophecies and the fictional imaginings of authors and science fiction. Science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke wrote three laws of prediction.
==Utopias and dystopias==
* ''An Essay on the Principle of Population'' by Thomas Malthus in 1798 started the fears of a Malthusian catastrophe where overpopulation returns people to mere subsistence.
* ''The Population Bomb'' by Paul R. Ehrlich in 1968 predicted disasters due to Neo-Malthusian concerns.
* ''The Limits to Growth'' (1972, by Club of Rome) often, erroneously, accused of predicting the inevitable exhaustion of natural resources.
* William Godwin published his utopian work ''Enquiry concerning Political Justice'' in 1793, with later editions in 1796 and 1798.
* Marquis de Condorcet published his utopian vision of social progress and the perfectibility of man ''Esquisse d'un Tableau Historique des Progres de l'Espirit Humain (The Future Progress of the Human Mind)'' in 1794
* ''Looking Backward: 2000-1887'' was written by Edward Bellamy in 1888. The novel imagined that by 2000, the United States would be a socialist utopia, with far shorter work weeks for menial laborers and far greater leisure time for all workers. His novel predicted things such as skyscrapers, debit cards, and a device used to hear and view concerts in the home that resembles a modern television.
