It isn't a prophecy it is reading in what you want to see from it. Snow Crash was over the top camp when it was first written.

Well, I haven't read Snow Crash, but this excerpt is neither "over the top" nor camp, and appears quite prophetic given 2020.

The main character of Snow Crash is named Hiro Protagonist. The above is meant to be absurdity, like the full body scanner in Airplane 2.

Well, I haven't seen Airplane!, but this example is neither "over the top" nor camp, and appears quite prophetic given 2020.
