The eeriest example I have on my paws is 1996 song «New World» by the artist then still known as Prince:

> When U wanna find some isolation

> But the tracker U got from vaccination (Keeps playin')

and

> When the lines blur every boy and girl

> How we gonna make it in this brave new world?

Correction: Prince actually changed to «the artist formerly known as Prince» already in 1993.

I know this is a satire 'Stack, but am the only one who fired up the Google machine and checked to see if there really WAS a 1950's show called, "On the Money?"

Because this sounded a LITTLE too real LOL Great work!

I honestly didn’t get the satire. I also thought it was real and Googled.

I was watching a podcast interview last night where the guest mentioned how prescient episodes of The Twilight Zone have been. They've been programming us with TV programming the whole time. Hollywood was always a CIA psyop.

Yep. Twilight Zone and Ray Bradbury short stories basically mapped out the 2020s.

Just watching the old "Twilight Zone" episodes often gave the viewer a look into the future. Rod Serling was a master at subtly predicting the future and understanding human nature. It's still the same 60 years later.
