The new technological advances of the 1980s inspired authors to explore the possibilities of machines. Personal computers and video games become commonplace and this is reflected in the SF books of the decade. As the world became digital, authors imagined what the future could look like as humans become more reliant on, and more entangled with, technology. Books explored the blurring line between man and machine and the exciting or dangerous places it could lead to.
