[quote=Anonymous]Science fiction writer Morgan Robertson died in obscurity because the novellas he wrote were too far fetched to be believed.

In 1898, he wrote about the largest, fastest, most opulent ship ever. It was thought to be unsinkable, so it had too few lifeboats. While making a transatlantic crossing one April, it struck an iceberg and sank, taking many of its passengers with it. The fictional ship’s name was Titan. Fourteen years later, the Titanic sank in nearly the exact location as Robertson’s fictional ship.

In 1908, Robertson published a book called [i]Beyond the Spectrum[/i], in which a worldwide war was fought on land and sea and even, unthinkably, in the air. He wrote about the Japanese attacking Manila and Hawaii, thus bringing the US into this terrible war. Japanese citizens were rounded up from US cities and placed in internment camps. To bring an end to the war, the US invented a sun bomb, which scorched people with a blinding light that could inflict burns on people who were miles away from the blast.[/quote]
