All science fiction is really alternate history fiction, written ahead of its time.

I discovered this by getting older.

Jesus! I thought I was the only one who knew that. My teacher told me that in an out of body experience 25 years ago. Welcome aboard! :D

Some of my favorite science fiction is now set in the past: Patlabor - all three movies were set in the 90's. 2000 A Space Odyssey. Star Trek - there are some episodes where they jump back in time to a distopian version of the 1990's or early 2000's.

That's just off the top of my head. Oh, and there's a few science fiction series that were set in "the present day" that are now firmly in the past, such as Knight Rider, and Prisoner.
