Yes, Ms Rand was very perceptive in her writings of over half a century ago.

She has to take her place in history with Jules Verne, Chester Gould, Al Capp and a handful of others that basically foresaw the future and had the ‘courage’ to publish and spur it along

Very few among ‘us’ could foresee Dick Tracy and his wrist radio, Nuclear Submarines etc etc etc

Al Capp also pointed out what a politicized society would look like with the likes of Moonbeam McSwine/Sadie Hawkins (feminist movement) the Shmoos, (Johnsons great society as the shmos would just reproduce themselves in whatever YOU wanted as a ‘good government’ should)

Rudyard Kipling, for Gods of the Copybook Headings, deserves a prominent place on your list.
