To continue the entirely lacking in jollytude theme, Stephen King's "The Running Man" is set in 2025, and Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" in 2021. I believe "A Boy and His Dog" was mentioned recently. Not quite sure as to the timeline, but I think the Terminator and wozzisname in the first movie get sent back from 2020 or thereabouts?
On a somewhat more optimistic note, Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy kicks off in 2026, although most of it is set much further into the future.
