I'm reading a review, it seems like it's a prophetic novel, I'd like to know if these writers had inside information about what was going to happen, maybe they belonged to secret and occult lodges, counting George Orwell also among others.
Thanks for the extra info, I'm going to check it out.

From perplexity:
Jean Raspail's inspiration for writing "The Camp of the Saints" came from a vision he had in 1971 while at his home on the French Riviera. Specifically:
  1. Raspail was looking out at the Mediterranean Sea when he had a sudden vision of a million refugees coming to enter Europe[1].
  2. He described this vision as seeing people "armed only with their weakness and their numbers, overwhelmed by misery, encumbered with starving brown and black children, ready to disembark on our soil"[5].
  3. Raspail reportedly thought: "What if they were to come? I did not know who 'they' were, but it seemed inevitable to me that the numberless disinherited people of the South would, like a tidal wave, set sail one day for this opulent shore, our fortunate country's wide-gaping frontier."[1]
This imagined scenario of mass migration from the Global South to Europe formed the basis for the dystopian plot of "The Camp of the Saints". The vision occurred in 1971, and Raspail went on to write and publish the novel in 1973[1][5].
