Well, BANG or rather BANG...BANG....BANG...... definitely defines the 80's. Strange thing is, it all seemed quite normal at the time, nowhere near as scary as Graham makes it sound. I can particularly bear witness to the dreadful state of British manufacturing industry at the end of the 70's, beginning of the 80's. It was very clear to me that humans would not be needed to 'make' things going into the future. The big question was, if humans were not earning by manufacturing to buy what the robots were now making, what was the point of making anything? So, Thatcher or no Thatcher, things were going to change radically if we were not to go back to the stone age. Pop art to politics, and the mix of the two all covered here. 4 on the door for Stewart.
