Architecture 2000
I read the entire thing earlier this year and I can't remember a single bloody prediction. It's much more about the trends of the time (Jencks' foreword is dated June 1969) and the theories / histories behind them.

What's really interesting & fun is Jencks' six major traditions, and how he plays with them:

I Demonstrate a Lag of Meat Consumption
1970, "prepared by Arthur Marwick". Not so heavy on the illustrations, but a cool cover and some interesting text.
