* LuddWasRight: Technology makes life in the 1960s cold, impersonal, and pointless.
* NeonCity: Verne accurately envisioned this as the natural evolution of the City of Lights, a nickname already well-established with the early adoption of gaslamp streetlighting in the Paris of his day. Combined with some imagined refinements to his time's electric arc lamps that hit close to the mark on florescent lighting, you have another eerily precient parallel to the future cyberpunk genre that also manages to forsee Paris's prominence in the neon-loving Art Deco movement.

* SnowMeansDeath: The last chapters of the book take place during winter. And a lot of emphasis is put on how this is the only thing technology hasn't solved for people and that people are dying even while driving the trains (not even Verne could predict modern heating).

This is less a matter of a failed prediction and more a matter of Verne's cynical insight that things like giving the engineer some futuristic equivalent to his day's heating stoves would be a low priority to executives in no danger of freezing to death.

In this case, a colossal book apparently four meters tall, whose pages are turned with machinery. Also, fashions and and some aspects of daily life are still very reminiscent of the 19th century and there is apparently no air transport (except the odd airship or two, probably). The clothing is also made of spun metal, the closest approach Verne could make to synthetic fibers before the development of polymers.
