I recently reread the novel 1984, written in 1948 by George Orwell. It's famous.

It's interesting to see how much its own time informed it.

In the 1984 London, rocket bombs crash into the city regularly and are shrugged off almost casually. Bizarre!

But 3 years before the novel was written, V2 rockets still crashed into London.
