It does it well enough to provoke a "huh, this is pretty interesting and thoughtful" response, but well enough that we won't be embarrassed by it in fifty years? I'd give very steep odds on that.

Creating a sci fi setting well enough that the audience can suspend disbelief is very different from creating one that's accurately predictive.
