| Re: What about a plague in a SF/F world?
A recent example would be the melding plague in Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space trilogy, in which a post-nanotech world is devastated by a disease which affects the various neural implants of many in society. In a nice twist, it's actually the upper echelons of society that are hit worst, while those who couldn't afford the implants remain unaffected (at least directly). |
