Lord of the World: The Anti-Christ and the End of the World by Robert Hugh Benson. Lord of the World is a 1907 dystopian science fiction novel by Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson that centers upon the reign of the Anti-Christ and the End of the World. It has been called prophetic by Dale Ahlquist, Joseph Pearce, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. I am perfectly aware that this is a terribly sensational book, and open to innumerable criticisms on that account, as well as on many others. But I did not know how else to express the principles I desired (and which I passionately believe to be true) except by producing their lines to a sensational point. I have tried, however, not to scream unduly loud, and to retain, so far as possible, reverence and consideration for the opinions of other people. Whether I have succeeded in that attempt is quite another matter.

The story was written in 1907 but is set today. The author does an amazing job of predicting future morals and trends in the world today. His mistake is that he thought that communism would really deliver on its promises.

written in 1907, this book describes much of our current culture. If the accuracy continues, we are in for quite a ride.
