It's difficult to call with novels. I assume anything dealing with cutting edge topical stuff wont last but your Marilynne Robinson or McCarthy will. But Proust has lasted with an exact recreation of a very particular social milleu at a very particular time
Poetry seems easier like pic rel

Dawn of Everything will definitely be a book people are still talking about in 30 years. Much better in content and critical reception than Guns Germs and Steel.
