'''The 2030 Internet Crisis''', better known as the '''"Death of the Net"''', was a catastrophic global event on November 17, 2030, triggered by a cyberterrorist group named ''Alnihaya''. They launched an AI-powered virus, ''Alkaritha'', that permanently disabled the global Internet infrastructure within 31 minutes.
'''World War III''' (WW3) was a global conflict that erupted in 2026 and ended in 2033, marking one of the deadliest and most transformative wars in human history. Unlike previous wars, it was fought not only with traditional weapons but also with cyber warfare, space technology, and autonomous machines, fundamentally changing how nations conduct war. The conflict reshaped the geopolitical landscape, economies, societies, and even the environment. Its long duration and multi-theater battles made it a defining event of the early 21st century. The origins of WW3 are rooted in decades of rising tensions between major powers, resource scarcity, technological rivalries, and environmental crises. '''[[World War III|Read more...]]'''
 
The attack led to a global economic meltdown, with the U.S. GDP plummeting from $33 trillion to $30.8 trillion within a year. E-commerce collapsed, physical stores and traditional media experienced a resurgence, and the Internet took 22 years to recover.
 
The crisis reshaped global society, economy, and technology, reviving 1980s-90s culture, decentralizing music, restoring print media, and ending the dominance of smartphones, streaming, and cryptocurrencies.
