Consider all of the things science fiction authors have predicted that haven't come about. Where's my humanoid robotic maid? My flying car? My voice-activated virtual assistant who sorts my mail and places my order for morning coffee?

I think it's easy to look backwards and point towards the few books that got it right. It's a lot harder to look at near-future predictions being published now and guess which ones are going to pan out.
