Science fiction is becoming reality. This is oneof the reasons I like Philip K. Dick. Asimov was good about sticking with the technology aspect of futurity. Dick was prodigious in applying philosophy to futurity. The tech in Dick's work was very much made to move the story he's been known to borrow technology to drove his point home. There are so many good sci-fi writers who have put forward ideas of the future but these are of our here and now. Some good examples.
-Post 1968 Phillip K Dick- Flow My Tears the Policeman Said- Specifically things such as a Civil War in America between the Nats (National Guard) and the Pols (Militarized Alphabets and Law Enforcement). The age of consent in this world is lowered to 12 years old. This book is the Globalist dream. This is what I think they want us to head towards.
Radio Free Ablemuth- About a music producer who keeps having these premonitions of something which turns out to be a ruthless totalitarian politician that was part of a secret communist group who ends up placing people (including the protagonist) in FEMA concentration camps.
A Scanner Darkly- I call this George H.W. Bush CIA the book. We've all seen the movie. This to me has already come true back in the late 80's. Governments and pharma have been working to dumb us down and control us for decades.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep- If it's true the CIA is running breeding farms and MK Ultra brainwashing they are in essence creating replicants. It could be much worse than that too. You might just be an outdated replicant created by the shadow government run by morally unscrupulous Monopolists.
Cocaine Nights and Super-Cannes by JG Ballard- These books basically deal with planned resort communities designed for business men. Psychopathy and sociopathy are encouraged or endemic. This is as a means to relax and relieve themselves from the stressors of the modern working world. Super-Cannes has a good example of MK Ultra shooters. The psychologist in town basically reinforces pro MK Ultra programming and a guy shoots up his work. Good reads. Highly recommended reading for suburbanites.
-William Gibson- The Blue Ant Trilogy- This is some of his more recent work. It's about the post 9/11 world. They're stories about defense contractors and board room advertising analysts. Specifically about how contractors could sell weapons and state secrets, surveillance state and using patterns of behavior in big data processing. Gibson's weird because he becomes less science fiction as he writes and more just regular fiction. Though he did sort of predict Snowden a decade or so before all of that.
The Bridge Trilogy- This whole series reminds me of the West Coast currently. Huge homeless populations, corporations creating earthquakes and natural disasters to buy up land and remake the world in their image. Data nodes and information black markets. Digital pop stars and the media complex. He sort of predicted things like TMZ and celebrity worship about 10 years before they were prevalent.
Image of the Beast by Philip Jose Farmer- This is not so much a sci-fi book as it is a fantasy book. Not sword and sorcery fantasy though. More like urban horror. This is really the first mention of what I'd consider the cabal in literary form. Basically a bunch of sex freaks who kidnap people and make snuff films.
