Technology ultimately catching up to and then surpassing magic and the fallout from that.

Try the Laundry series by Charles Stross. It's a bit of an odd one to classify, being basically a Lovecraftian horror/spy series set in our world, but the basic conceit is that magic is essentially applied mathematics, and the advent of computers that can do massive computations regularly and on the fly has basically broken the multiverse and placed humanity right in the path of an Elder God emergence like nothing our universe has ever seen. The hero creates magical effects with his palmtop, bone violins with speaker systems destroy demons, basilisk stares have been weaponised as a technology, summoning grids have been updated using lasers, and government agencies use geasa to control and possess their own people. Also, the end of the world is repeatedly nigh, and past a critical mass of human computation, there will stop being a damn thing we can do about it. It's, um, a horrifically pessimistic series at times, but damn if it isn't awesome.
