@fnordius @mike @NanoRaptor Thanks, Marc, I will have to read up on the background again. I enjoyed reading the novels as a teenager, and re-reading more recently.

That theme of writers of that period forecasting what we are now living through - based, in many cases, on scientific papers that were published at the time, led to some amazing stories.

J. G. Ballard's The Drowned World was one of my favourites, published around the same time.
