This is almost sad.
When a writer engages in prophecy after the fact as a vehicle for social commentary the context and narrative positively explodes with useful information. It gives us an idea of then-current events or outcomes as the author saw them, and what the author saw his place (his cultures) place in the world and it;s relationship to others and some ideal of the future to be. Or, or, it's just an incredibly sophisticated deck of tarot cards....we're told, instead, that magic book is a crystal ball.
