My two nominations go to:
George Orwell
He warned that the development of technology, far from being an unbridled good that would free humanity, could well in fact bring about new forms of constant surveillance, control and enslavement. That said, could even he have envisaged AI, FR, the creeping abolition of cash etc?
Oswald Spengler
A somewhat more controversial choice, given his albeit brief dalliance with the Nazis. He foresaw things like climate change, resource depletion, the emergence of the global economy, and warned even then that humans were becoming too divorced from nature and too reliant on technology.

In my opinion;
George Orwell ''1984'' Newspeak, rewriting the past, brainwashing children, big brother.
Aldous Huxley ''brave new world'', i think it is even more prophetic than 1984.
Julius Evola ''revolt against the modern world'', where he sees the destruction that modern world -which is against tradition- will bring to humankind.
