Great Sky - Tides of Light - Furious Light - Sailing Bright Eternity
Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson, form the best out into Mars's future. All the issues and problems are encountered and dealt with by one of the differing approaches of the main characters. Characterisation in these books is class, they become real people.
The very cooling 1999 movies that admitted its inspiration was 6 comics.
One think of those comics must of Shadows (published in 1989 by 2000AD) partly because it featured people born in machine nurseries, a vitural reality that is totally convincing, in which the hero stays when he discovers his reality was only simulation itself meant to keep super computers occupied. Plus the writer Pete Milligan has been writing film scripts since the early 1990s.

Seaquest DSV - Roy Schiener stars in a submarine adventure show that got a bit crazy. Transported to an alien shapechanger's (Mark Hamill) homeworld to save the planet. I thought the best was when they travelled into the near future to planet where humans given power to a central computer, but then almost died out when a fatal disease came that they no longer had the skills to fight. The last two humans addicted to VR games that controlled massive robots.

But in you REALLY want... Offical Star Trek or Star Trek Voyager - Starfleet Database
When the military network computer, Skynet becomes intelligent and decides a kill the human vermin. John Connor becomes the saviour of the human people as he fights back. Interesting analogy John Connor is 'Jesus', who sends Reece back in travel to save the woman he worships, Sarah Connor who is the mother of John (in effect 'Mary'). But the twist is Reece becomes John's father. The father of his saviour. - The follow-up wreaked this scenario.
