Just finished "Titan" by Stephen Baxter. The premise is, they find signs of potential life on Titan, and end up sending a crewed mission to Titan....in a Space Shuttle.
But what shocked me was how accurate Baxter, writing in the mid 90s, absolutely nails the geopolitical situation of the 21st century. He depicts the election of a very, very Trumpian president. It's hair-raising and eerily accurate -- see the quote from the book in my Storygraph review: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/afaea29d-0b97-4807-9b9c-d18902bff05c
