Yes. There are lots of societal and political and ecological issues to address. So? You can take just about any end-times fantasy from any book and any religion and claim that it applies. Have you read Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner? Written in 1969 - - the tech, the politics, the culture, reads like he actually time-traveled to 2016 and took notes. Predicted the future with eerie accuracy - better than any vague bible verses. Should we make Brunner a saint?
