| - Science fiction and other related fields of fiction are often set in the future, or at least involve events in times that have not yet occurred. This list is a chronological collection of significant events from various works of such fiction. It includes some events that were set in the future when the fiction containing them was first written but which have now been overtaken by real history, becoming a form of alternate history or failed prediction in the process. It is rarely true that science fiction writers are seriously attempting prediction — the needs of the story are usually the primary concern, and science fiction stories are often more about the present in which they are written than the future in which they are supposedly set. Nevertheless, below are some notable fictional visions of the-future-that-never-was-and-probably-won't-be. See also: Timeline of Star Trek, Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic science fiction, Timeline of fictional historical events, and Timeline of fictional contemporary events. The following timeline is set into three parts. The first is titled "The Past and Near Future" which included dates that we have already past up to the end of the current century. The section entitled "The Future" is one of the most commonly explored in science fiction take place between the year 2100 and 10,000 CE. The third section is "The Far Future" takes place between 10,000 until the end of the universe. Both the last two section are self-explanatory and are entitled "The End of Time" and "Beyond the End of Time".
