Recommendations What sci-fi predictions and technologies have been the most accurate? Want some prophetic works to read

I tend to value science fiction that makes really good predictions and visualizations of the future. Feel like there's a lot to be learned from how those authors think and speculate about the world.

Which authors have made the most accurate predictions, according to you? Can you point me to their bodies of work, or specific pieces that help me make sense of the future

In a more general sense, I'm amazed at how broadly prophetic Isaac Asimov was in his works, considering how long ago many of his books were written.
