You are right for once Smith. American Science Fiction has indeed been a dreaming for that nation, to which they follow.
Isaac Asimov's Foundation series (based on the Fall of Rome) is the narrative of the Fall of the USA (that adheres to the archaic western of Rome and Athens).

You will find that many Americans Fantasy writers have also done the same with many novels and series having predicted the likes of Trump. Roger Zelazny's Amber series (Trump Cards) from the 70's to Julian May's The Non-born King.

Let's not comment on the fear of the rise of the Biologically advanced Australian future in competition with America like Pacific Rim and Independence Day 2 Wink

im about to read prime deceptions by valerie valdes. i chose this book because it was the only science fiction book i could find in my local library. maybe it will surprise me!

The plot wasn't bad at all but should have been labelled a teenagers book.

So many are - I often don't mind if it is a good story.

Every SciFi & Fantasy alien or being are an insinuation of people and animals here on Earth. Our imaginations are still bound to this world. Even the Borg are based on a type of people here.
SciFi is mostly a future projection, Fantasy is a past projection.
But Fantasy writers in America have been known to predict the future (like a guy like Trump) by their own insinuation and illusion.
