Since big catastrophic plagues are DEFINETLY not ASB as it takes a few minor PODs to mutate a virus (though oddly seen as almost taboo here), what would be the effects of a big plague spreading across the now relatively getting connected world? I'm thinking in the range of at least 60% mortality.
Would we be sent back to the Dark Ages or perhaps somehow keep gunpowder?
Ideas, etc?
