Description
In 1859, the Earth was hit by the most powerful solar storm ever recorded, but because we hadn't even invented the lightbulb, we barely felt it. Today, that same event would be a global catastrophe.
Our modern world is built on a delicate web of electrical grids and digital infrastructure that simply wasn't designed for a direct hit from the Sun. From the "warning shot" in Quebec to the staggering trillions of dollars a modern Carrington Event would cost, we are more vulnerable now than at any point in human history. How long would society last if the power didn't come back on for months?
The clock is ticking, and the sun is getting restless.
