Fiction becomes reality?

In my second book, Behind German Lines, the main story line is about the Nazis building and deploying an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) weapon. The effects were devastating on equipment and humans. Whether an EMP would actually harm humans was my fiction of the story; we all know electric equipment is ruined by one.

Fast forward to the present. The U.S. Intelligence community says the "Havana Syndrome" you may have heard about could be the result of an EMP. A frightening prospect in the real world.

Science fiction writers often predict the future. I sure wasn't expecting to do that with a WWII novel.
