The book "Futility" written in 1898 was about a luxury liner named "Titan" of almost the same description as the RMS Titanic. The sinking is the same - not enough lifeboats on boart, making her maiden voyage across the Atlantic in April, and strikes an iceberg.
After the Titanic sank, just a few days afterwards, The book was republished under the new name "The Wreck of the Titan, or Futility", and the short story was freely published across major newspapers. They also updated the ship description to be even closer to the Titanic.
I believe this was done so the survivors themselves who never actually saw the iceberg would be confused and in their later testimonies seeing the iceberg after reading the graphic account in this fictional book. I think the elites were putting it out their in plane sight as well as a hidden message that they used it as a template to cover up the deliberate sinking of the Titanic.
