Roddenberry wrote a series called Star Trek this a futuristic picture of what will happen it was to be science fiction but was it. It was a group of people traveling around meeting other different people and societies which they can negotiate or at least make a deal to survive and let others survive. This all came to an end when they met the Borg. Borg said resistance is futile and you will be assimilated. They said you will be the same as us or be destroyed. What was the home of the Borg it was a big black cube. What is going on in the world now we have a religious cult that is saying you need to convert to our cult or you will be destroyed. You cannot leave the cult under penalty of death. This religion/cult has a so called holy place a big black cube Kaaba Islam’s most sacred site in Islam
Interesting theory I said a couple of years back that some futuristic writers 'do' have great foresight
