Some of these illustrations do show the trappings of the modern world.
In the middle of the last century, people imagined the future differently. However, for the most part, it was associated with the active development of science and robotics, space travel and the inevitable appearance of extraterrestrial life. It was these topics that were most often touched upon by science fiction artists of the 20th century, whose forecasts today look simply amazing. Here are 20 works by various illustrators.

Surprisingly, some of these drawings show the attributes of the modern world, albeit not in the form in which the artists saw them. There are home cleaning machines, space stations with living quarters, and humanoid robots. It is possible that in the near future, in 20, 50 or even 100 years, other forecasts of science fiction writers of the 20th century will also come true.
