Idiocracy/Dont look up/1984/Judge Dredd

You better start believing in cyberpunk dystopia, Miss Turner. You're in one!

Not sure which one. But we already pretty much check all the boxes of cyberpunk.

100% its cyberpunk. corpo takeover with having to use technology to get by even when it is bad for you.

Idiocracy.

Birth rates are down everywhere and the majority of the people left making lots of babies are not the ones you wish would be having them. Being virtuous and on the "right side of history" means nothing if those values die with you and are not passed to the next generation.

WALL-E. We just don't have a way to escape yet, but the rest is happening regardless.

V for Vendetta

A combination of Snow Crash and Idiocracy

Her.

Lots of good suggestions so far, Brave New World and Don't Look Up would be right up there for me. But my #1 is this...

The Machine Stops (PDF) Written in 1909 so out of copyright, this book is so ahead of its time it makes remarkable reading today. The amount of things predicted that describe the modern day is incredible. It's also not that long, so well worth a read.

100% no doubt The parable of the sower and subsequent book. I read that book - started reading it - in June this year and read it over about a month. It was very creepy to be reading a sci fy book set in the future that is now my present and while it is not as bad right now as Octavia Butler makes it out to be, we are definitely heading there if drastic action is not taken immediately.

Edit: the books in order: (Only two, sadly she died while writing the third but still both worth reading, there isn't a clif hanger at the end) https://www.octaviabutler.com/parableseries

I do believe that a lot of aspects of The Ministry for the Future by K.S. Robinson have chances of becoming true.

The deadly heatwave in south Asia, governments going rogue and playing with geo engineering on their own, climate refugee camps and the general sense of too little too late.

But the book is fairly optimistic, so hopefully, people of the world getting together and accepting a new paradigm will come to be true.

1984

I could see the Golgafrinchan telephone sanitizer situation coming to pass.

Parable of the Sower

It was written as near future fiction anyway. In fact the dates mentioned in the book start out in our past. Just the catalyst events haven’t quite happened yet. Add a few years to the dates and I could see us heading towards that kind of societal break down.

Horizon Zero Dawn: Total extinction by the 2060s because some mad, narcissistic Elon Musk guy overestimates himself and fucks it up for the whole world? Doesn't sound too far-fetched to me right now.

The Water Knife by Paolo Baccigalupi is pretty on the nose for the near future of the southern US

Our history sounds shockingly similar to Animal Farm.

Revolt against the Ottoman colonizers

The Hashemite dynasty rules the Hejaz for 10 years

Get invaded by the Saud dynasty, an ultraconservative, wahhabist group

Become an absolute monarch, where criticism = death by beheading

Pretend how it's great here, and how nothing ever goes wrong here

Destroy history of our past

Become a lifeless country, where all our work and natural resources are reserved for the Sauds

By islamic law, we are all equal. But some of us, are more equal than others.

Next step, is probably to centralize all power to MBS, which he partially already did.

Brave New World

In some ways we’re already living it

I'm going to go obscure here and say that the world of 2077 from the television show Continuum

It ran for a few seasons; I enjoyed it for the most part. Not the best, not the worst. But definitely in terms of the premise where Corporations have essentially bought out failing governments, leading to an advanced surveillance state, and anti-corporate terrorists, etc... etc...

"Lack of respect, wrong attitude, failure to obey authority. The Farm, immediately. - death sentence in Ellison's book 'A Boy and His Dog'

A combination of all the worst bits of the worst ones

Dune.

Not the cool parts, the Butlerian Jihad.

I'd have gone with WH40Ks war with the men of iron but there's absolutely no chance we reach golden age of technology levels before we fuck ourselves.

Lots of good responses in this thread so far, but I keep thinking of the newest Gibson trilogy with regards to "the jackpot" where the majority of the population dies from a series of "not quite the big one" pandemics and climate issues and society is taken over by the kleptocracy. I love Gibson's books, but I wish he would stop accurately predicting our demise.

All of the negatives from Metropolis 2001

Metropolis (2001): How Capitalism Produces Fascism

The Temporal Messages of Metropolis

Elon Musk = Duke Red

If we don't dodge that bullet, Years and Years. Or Neuromancer.

Can we choose? I'll pick the Matrix. Yes we are slaves to the machines, but at least they give us happy dreams

The Simpsons

The Road.

How far ahead do you want to go? The Borg are a more likely future phase of humanity than Star Trek's Federation, though without FTL travel, we're gonna be stuck crawling from rock to rock in our own neighbourhood for a very long time.

There's also a bit in old kid's TV show The Girl From Tomorrow where, at one point, something mucks up the timeline so badly that the future she comes from ceases to exist and all of the Earth's land ends up an uninhabitable desert, devoid of life. That seems pretty likely too.

These two things are not mutually exclusive either.
