For years we have discussed the Singularity, that point in the future when artificial intelligence will achieve an irreversible explosion and exceed well beyond human capacity. At that juncture, a purely biology-based version of the human race will come to an end. Mathematician and science fiction author Verner Vinge placed that event somewhere before 2030.

For the first time in recorded history, planetary humans are all sharing a common cause: how to contain and survive the explosive spread of an invisible disease-causing pathogen to which humans have no immunity or existing cures.
