Edited by Martin Gardner, The Wreck of the Titanic Foretold? contains the
short novel about an iceberg sinking a vessel called the Titan, but published 14
years before the Titanic disaster. It includes two other fictional works
describing liners foundering after hitting icebergs which appeared before the
real event. Believers in ESP have enthusiastically claimed that these stories
are proof of precognition. Gardner reaches a different conclusion, but is fair
in argument; the fiction would not be worth reading in other circumstances.
