I'll have to think a bit about which one might be the one you are
thinking about.
I am in the same boat as you regarding _my_ favourite "prophecy"
novel. It postulates that the Reformation never occured and the
world is still ruled by the Catholic
church. _That_ prospect is scary.....
I like Randall Garrett's Lord Darcy stories. Set in a modern world
in which magic triumphed over science. Fun stuff.
I like some of Phil Dick's stuff, but don't think I would have liked
him as a person. I still think Blade Runner is one of the top three
or four sci fi films ever made. Every few years a new generation
picks up on it and it goes through a renaissance. The future it
created is very believable.
