as far as "films set in 2019", As soon as its the year 2020 we can Include
Blade Runner that film was set In November or December 2019. Its October of 2019 now.

Why is Batman: The Dark Knight Returns included if we don't know what year it takes places? It's not even clear that it's meant to take place in the future from when it was written (given that the president in the story looks almost exactly like Ronald Regan). I would like to suggest that it be removed Webster100 ( talk) 23:42, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
There are many contemporary stories where the epilogue is set some time later (usually several months to several years). As that isn't the primary setting of the story, this shouldn't count towards the list. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 17:40, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of works of fiction set in 2029 for an ongoing discussion concerning these lists. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 16:40, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
Should entries set for 2017 be listed here? It's only two weeks into January. Or should it wait until the entire year (or the specific day/month) has passed? AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 02:41, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
'Notes' is an insufficiently unambiguous title for the fifth column. Anyone skimming the article will come across statements in this column which they understand are true (in real history) whereas what is largely being referred to is events that take place within a particular film and which may, or more likely may not, correspond to actual history. So since some notes are reflections of actual history and some are not - we could do with clarity as to which are which. cheers Geopersona ( talk) 08:56, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
Time Gate is a book by John Jakes, written in 1978. I have read it.

We're approaching the new year so I thought it would be a good idea to review our inclusion criteria to see if they need strengthening. Here are the criteria we appear to have established so far:

The light novel Sword Art Online begins on November 2, 2022. The fictional video game of the same name, is launched at 13:00 on November 6, 2022.
If we're going to include Christopher Columbus's prophecies, should we also include Nostradamus? Serendi pod ous 21:52, 22 April 2022 (UTC) @ AngusWOOF: @ Illegitimate Barrister:. Sorry to push this but it needs addressing. Serendi pod ous 11:03, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
I think some-to-many of the entries are on this list that are set in the near future are kind of "missing the point." There's a horde of fiction that is set in a contemporary time period. There's no substantial difference between "this story takes place RIGHT NOW" (but it's fiction so it obviously isn't really happening), "this story takes place TOMORROW", and "this story takes place a very small number of years into the future." All of them are really just assuming basic contemporary society & tech until Fiction Happens and aliens invade or whatever. But there isn't really any difference between "aliens are invading RIGHT NOW" and "aliens are invading in a society that looks exactly like it does right now, but I'll up the date by a year to obscure the fiction from my initial audience." I would humbly suggest a longer "waiting period" where large parts of the work have to be set substantially in the future (5+ years?) to qualify for the list. (It's fine if it "starts" 1 or 2 years from publication but then continues past the "limit", whatever it is.)
Separate issue, but I also think that some of the songs are not serious alternate futures, but rather just funny lines. I haven't heard it but "Back That Azz Up" does not really appear to be attempting to create a fictional story set in a predicted future, for example. Less certain what criteria to use here other than "common sense" though - there needs to be an explicit *story*, and it needs to be reasonably far off enough to be future-ology.

additional entries:
They are fascinating, but technically don't belong on the list, since they have a wikipedia article. Perhaps someone should make one, but I'm not sure what to do until then.

The movie Her (2013) could be an interesting addition to this list because it predicts several developments related to artificial intelligence that were still not reality back when the film was made, such as AI generating images and music, AI use in video games and AI personalities based on historical characters.
However, the problem is that the film does not specify the date it takes place. I've seen people claiming that it is set in 2025 or in the 2070s, but without a reliable source to back it up. - Munmula ( talk · contribs) 07:32, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of stories set in a future now in the past's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:34, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
I removed a lot of songs where the singer speculates on where they'll be X years from now, or referring to things like Y2K or 2012 as still future events. To be included, the song needs to mention a specific year, not just 'where will I end up?' or 'five years later'. Bkatcher ( talk) 17:26, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
I'm not sure about adding this light novel series to the list. While the story is set in the year 2099, one of things mentioned in the first volume is that in the year 2023 Earth merged with a fantasy world. Does this it worthy of inclusion? ISD ( talk) 18:30, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
There's a very strong chance that doing so will get one or both the pages deleted, but I physically cannot edit it anymore.

I saw that things like Avengers: Endgame are not included despite being set in 2023 due to them being in an 'alternate universe'. I'm wondering what constitutes an alternate universe. Surely all fiction is in an alternate universe as none of it really happened, especially those set the future (as this list is concerned with) since they can't have known what the future would hold and therefore their version of it is an alternate one.
In the intro paragraph is specifically says alternate futures are not included but aren't all futures in fiction alternate to our own? 47.72.152.11 ( talk) 07:11, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
