Human thinking via associations...

Human people think by associations of words and ideas.

If by reading a book causes society to replicate parts of the story to influence their existence, this is caused by the reader, not the author.

For example, many people read my novel, Eye of the Pharaoh (The Flawed Emerald) illegally since it was unlawfully published in the 1990s.  There was no war on terrorism in 1990s.  Yet after 2001 there was, and people pointed to my book as its source.  There was no Terrorist State until 2014.  Iran was not developing Nuclear Weapons in 1990s.  The CIA read my book.  They poisoned their minds with my Fiction.  They persecuted Iran because they believed that Iran has connections with the author, or that the author has connections to the Caliphate or Al Qaeda.  They never paid the author.  The book is selling on the International Black Market (Dark Web).  The author demands restitution and compensation.  The book's "publisher" in 1990s was a criminal, and those selling it illegally are also.  When people hear the book's title they immediately call the author a "terrorist" - when the author was in Las Vegas at the Luxor Hotel in 1990s and wore his "M7" hat, a woman saw it and told a shopkeeper about that "terrorist."  The author is not a "terrorist."  But you get the idea.

The book 1984 did not predict the Presidency of Donald Trump.  Trump could have read it.  Authors who write very influential stories seem like Prophets when their stories influence Society.  

Star Trek gave you the Tablet PC and modern Cell Phone (communicator). There was a Bluetooth phone device in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Other Science Fiction stories influenced modern technology. 2001 A Space Odyssey influenced modern AI in computers.
