I thought that Japan has had pod-like rental space for decades now.

Predicting 9/11 was probably Deus Ex's most impressive feat.

Deus Ex launched over a year before 9/11. In the game the NY skyline was missing the twin towers.

From the Deus Ex wiki:

"Whenever the New York City skyline is visible in the background, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center are conspicuously absent. This was due to texture memory limitations that arose during the game's development, but the in-universe explanation for the missing towers is that they were destroyed in a terrorist attack. A year after the game's initial release, the real Twin Towers were destroyed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. "

Not to forget, Neuromancer had it first - over 15 years before the game.
