Block Transfer Wars

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

The Block Transfer Wars were fought around the year 7073 between the Earth Empire and its computer technology.

At its start, a computer virus known as the Finlar contagion, which caused humanity's technology to turn against its creators, travelled halfway across Earth's empire in a matter of hours, nearly wiping out the whole species with Block Transfer Computation. (AUDIO: The Enchantress of Numbers)
