A Jules Verne novel is reported to have made predictions about the 20th century, including the development of submarines, moon missions, and other technological advancements. Some outlets also mention the novel predicting other modern concepts, such as the internet, cars, and artificial intelligence, although the accuracy of these predictions is not universally agreed upon. The novel in question may be "Paris in the Twentieth Century", which was reportedly written in 1863, although another author, H.G. Wells, is also mentioned in the context of predicting the 20th century.
