In all things imagination comes before invention.
Read any Si-Fi and you will fill your pockets with so many examples that the weight of them will make your pants fall down: expeditions too the moon; vending machines; submarines; slap-head as a fashion; communism; budgie-smuggler underpants; at least a thousand different types of uppers; DNA; Kindle; computers; video conferencing, how many do you want….
coming to a store near where you are, very soon; soylent green.

I’m sure The Catcher in the Rye stoked rebellion in more than one schoolboy back in the day. It’s an interesting example, too, because it was never (and never will be) adapted for film.

How about Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein?

Washington Irving’s work has been very influential in several bizarre ways as well. I think it’s pretty funny that his first major work, The Sketchbook, was based in part on experiences he had in Europe, and when it became a hit in the U.S. and Europe, the Europeans thought The Sketchbook reflected typical fashion and behavior in the U.S. If anything, it was a combination of Irving’s globe trotting experience and Dutch folklore he’d grown up with. Go figure. Also, who hasn’t heard of headless horsemen?

Also, you mentioned Charles Dickens. Oh my goodness! It’s almost impossible to speak or write English without inadvertently using Dickens-isms. I love clean, tight, concise writing, but I’m also totally in love with Dickens. None of my friends understand, but I can’t fault the guy. He had a way of writing that really resonated with people.

Anyway, where would the movies be without writers? We all know we’re the brains behind the operation 😉

Jack Kerouac helped inspire the Beat Generation with On the Road.

And Anaïs Nin helped inspire a great deal of erotica, although it’s a smaller subculture.

Twenty years in the future, all vampires might be similar to Twilight vampires, but even they were inspired by literature, right? DRACULA started the romantic obsession, but it was really Anne Rice’s books that took them and made them sympathetic characters, undoubtedly inspiring every vampire romance that’s come since.
