  • Jerzy Żuławski's classic trilogy of novels On a Silver Moon are set in the 27th Century in which a race of moon dwarves search for a route back to Earth through spiritual enlightenment. Written in 1901–1911, the trilogy is one of the greatest works of Polish science fiction.
  • The Night's Dawn Trilogy books by Peter F. Hamilton, consisting of The Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist and The Naked God, are set in the year 2611.
  • Roberto Bolano in his novel Los Detectives Salvajes, through one of the main characters, Cesarea Tinajero (original founder of the real visceralismo poetry society) envisions the 27th century as a time when some dark events will happen in the north of Mexico. In 2666, Bolano's last novel, he describes hundreds of rapes and murders in the north of Mexico, most likely linked with the events written in Los Detectives Salvajes.
  • In the video game series Wing Commander The Terran Confederation, following 5 years of raids against their shipping by the Kilrathi, officially declares war on July 5th 2634. The war continues until 2669, with the Confederation emerging as the victor. In 2681 the Nephilim appear and war breaks out, with the Confederation again the victor. The events detailed in the games take place from the mid to late 27th century.
  • Most of the F-Zero series, one of Nintendo's video game franchises, takes place during the early 27th century.
  • In both Bill & Ted movies (Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey), the "future scenes" take place in 2688 and 2691, respectively.
  • Several characters in the Star Trek universe originate from this century (ex: Vorgons from The Next Generation Episode Captain's Holiday).
  • The Contra series of video games (with the exception of Neo Contra) is set during this century.
  • The video game Earthsiege 2 begins in the year 2624, with the Earth having been in a major global war against a self-controlled AI called "Prometheus".
  • The events of the video game series AquaNox take place in the mid-27th century.
  • The events of the Xbox 360 video game Project Sylpheed take place in 2632.
