I am just rewatching bladerunner 2049 and it talks about a blackout in the mid 2020's that lasted 10 days, wiped all the computer systems clean.
Seems a bit of a coincidence.

Only way that happens is if it's a ten day EMP. Anything bad enough to wipe computers clean would have LONG since wiped out the power grid, and that blackout would be for months if people are lucky.
Or a very sophisticated worm.
No doubt but even the worst would still leave behind massive amounts of data that's air gapped. It would be catastrophic and I wouldn't put it past the GloboHomos I just don't think it would quite reach what's referenced in this movie.
Also, can't take out critical data storage (eg. Hospitals, banks, etc)..
