Here's one I thought would be fun to throw out there...
Which sci-fi novel do you think has most accurately predicted the future? Explain why you think this and defend your choice.
My choice is Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
Here's a better summation than I could present in the form of a comparison with Orwell's 1984...

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
