Prophecy. A word one rarely uses outside of biblical terminology. A word one would not associate with the works Fahrenheit 451 and 1984, yet a term that fits aptly with both novels. To prophesy, as the Webster Dictionary so nicely puts it, means "to predict with assurance...", which is exactly what both authors, George Orwell and Ray Bradbury did through their works. Some might argue that both novels were reflections of the times, or eras, that both authors lived in, and that is a correct assumption.
