The sun.  No, not some asinine periodical.  A spaceborn EMF event (similar to but far greater than any produced by conventional atomic explosions) would in fact wipe out our electronically and electrically based civilization.  I’m surprised it took this long to hit public domain, in fact.  What happens is you have one of those nice flashy-looking solar storms.  They carry a lot of charge; enough, in fact, to bring down things like major transformers.  And we civilized people suddenly don’t have one of the absolutely necessary things for a city infrastructure.
