I was just typing a description for Mack Reynolds' 1975 novel, "Tomorrow Might Be Different" into my database and found myself bowled over at the author's prescience. Substitute 'China' for 'Russia' in the scenario for his book and... doesn't this sound an awful lot like today's world?

What would the world be like if the Russians discovered how to beat us at our own capitalistic game, and began dumping inexpensive, quality goods on the world market? In this brand-new novel, Mack Reynolds deposits us into just such a future. It is a world where America is rapidly being turned into a second rate power as its industries go bankrupt. A world that is falling under the wheels of the Soviet juggernaut, peacefully and passively. It is a world where the US has only one way to retaliate - by bringing a little religion into the Soviet Union… A very special religion…”
