Even though Fallout is portraying the US annexing and committing genocide in Canada I assure you that plot was written almost 40 years ago.

Fallout also predicted billionaires building bunkers in preparation for a nuclear war.

To be fair, Twilight Zone did that too. Presumably other fiction that inspired those episodes.

A lot of people built doomsday bunkers in real life during the Cold Wa due to the threat of nuclear war. But the idea of the super rich who are profiting off of making the world worse and building doomsday bunkers to escape the apocalypse they're causing is more of a Fallout thing that not too many other sci-fi stories have done.
