But discussing coming imperial conflict is not. I only half heartedly asked about fiction because a modern global imperial conflict would be fought very differently compared to the past. And I would rather have a vague image of what to expect than none at all.
“Miraculous prophecy is a fairy-tale. But scientific prophecy is a fact. And in these days, when we so very often encounter shameful despondency and even despair around us, it is useful to recall one scientific prophecy which has come true. Frederick Engels had occasion in 1887 to write of the coming world war”
Deeply unserious question with no answer.
Nobody can predict the future.
Then explain Gordon Chang
Francis Fukuyama: “Nothing will ever happen again, history is OVER!”
Gordon Chang with laser eyes: “Isn’t there someone you forgot to ask?”
I can predict whatever new thing Gordon Chang comes up with will also be wrong. 😂
My framing is unserious. I changed the title.
