In fiction[change]

They Shall Have Stars, the first book in science fiction writer James Blish's Cities in Flight series, was published in 1950 and is set in a fictional 2013. A major character is Alaska Senator Bliss Wagoner, leader of the Joint Congressional Committee on Space Flight, who is a big role in Humanity's spread into space. At the time of when the book was being written, Alaska was not yet a state and had no senators, but Blish correctly thought that this would be by at least 2013.
