What's your favourite older SF story?

[robkelk]

There's an Arthue C Clarke book, The Songs of Different Earth, which as an aside mentions cellphones (worn as watches) as an aside, and mentions that the first thing that happens in a horror story is the characters leaving theirs behind.

So the progression of technology was spot-on, but the psychology was off. Who'd leave their cellphone behind nowadays?

"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
