Thanks for the contributions, guys. Good stuff.

@unkated: This reminds me of the bad-guys in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. IIRC, radical environmentalists were trying to launch a virus or something to wipe out 99.9% of humanity.

A neo-Luddite cult could have a similar M.O., albeit with less emphasis on environmentalism. Their reason for destroying new tech is that they blame it for the war. They embrace a return to hand-made articles, eschewing machinery, and a barter-based economy.

@ArmySGT.: I like this idea- the name is particularly clever- but what makes this a group? What brings them together? It seems like there's a missing element here. What's the bond that makes this a cult, as opposed to nickname for certain types of hopeless individuals?
