The Dead Zone features yet another character with psychic powers. This time it's Johnny Smith, an everyman who wakes up from a coma with the ability to see the future. Johnny eventually has a vision of Greg Stillson — a dishonest, selfish businessman — being elected president and causing a world-ending conflict. Johnny, though initially hesitant, resolves to prevent that future and goes after Stillson. If that plot summary conjures up thoughts of present-day politics, you're not alone — perhaps King is the one who can see the future?
