Foundation
Isaac Asimov
In his opening lecture, he said he liked economics because it was the real-world version of Isaac Asimov’s (fictional!!) concept of “psychohistory” (which the Foundation novels make clear is a bad thing!!!!!)

Operation Shylock: A Confession (PEN/Faulkner Award)
Philip Roth
Though I have my problems with Philip Roth, OPERATION SHYLOCK remains the final word on the ideas and emotions that wrack Israel, and the Palestinians. I’m glad I read it _after_ I’d already been delusional enough to think I had anything new to say about Zionism and occupation

300
Frank Miller
Frank Miller sooooorta did a similar thing (albeit with a million historical AND scriptural errors) in his oft-forgotten 300 prequel, a few years back. It was super orientalist but also it had this completely metal moment https://t.co/9nPTBU5zPL
