Green Day

The Y2K problem is a planned effort by a group of ecocyberterrorists calling themselves
Pestis Verdae to "thin the herd" and create "a long distrust anything stemming from the demon of technology".
The inner circle is also working, via William Shockley, on a super predator Homo shockleyensis which is tougher, faster, meaner, and smarter than man. In theory, while it can use technology, it can’t repair or invent it. It was planned that the first 500 breeding pairs would pour out of the Okefenokee Swamp on January 3, 2000.
==Comment==
Anyone actually familiar with 1999 technology will realize the Millennium Bug would only effect the small subset of computer controlled equipment (TL8) that cared about the date; most didn't. 
More over only the computers running DOS and Windows were effected. Unix (1971) wouldn't hit its "Y2K" until 2038 and the MacOS (1984) not until 2040.Y2K: Mac Owners Beware (1998)
Even by the standards of 1999, when GURPS Y2K came out, Pestis Verdae comes off as people by totally clueless idiots.
