how we used to see the future, from a 1980's standpoint (think: Jetsons)

I think you must mean a 1960s standpoint. 1980s gave us Bladerunner and Terminator.

The movie Blade Runner was based on the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, written by Philip K Dick in 1968.

The movie The Terminator was at probably partially inspired by the short story Second Variety, written by Philip K Dick in 1953.
