How did science fiction imagine the world of the 2020s? Let's
look at some of the more entertaining predictions and speculations...

This reply is a bit late, but I was just looking at my database of books
bought and read and a comment I made decades ago for one book caught my
attention. I give you _Touch the Stars: Emergence_ by John Dalmas and
Carl Martin (published by Tor in 1983). The chapter heads include dates,
chapter 1 being set on September 16, 2024. I don't remember much about
it (I think it could be called a gadget story), but there appears to be
a E-book edition available. Oh, the comment: "King Charles III makes a
brief appearance".

However, when I checked that e-book edition; I discovered that the text
had been revised and expanded.
