I've mentioned before that it's easier to write a story 1,000 years in the future than one that's set 25 years in the future. The latter has to responsibly extrapolate from current events/trends/data, and 25 years from now, some nerd will want to point out how I got it wrong.

I've been variously credited for predicting artificial blood (OMW), brain implants (OMW, Lock In), and the pandemic (Lock In). Of course I predicted none of those because a) other writers had used these elements before me, b) everything is based on knowledge that already exists that I iterated on.
