The Second Great Depression hit the Western nations hardest, and the forces of Islam, Russia, and China expanded to fill the holes.  The Russians and Chinese built their own computer networks.  The Jihadist Islamics used cannibalized Western equipment when possible, but purged every Western program they could find.  The early AIs were included in this purge, since they considered creating new intelligences in the image of humanity an abomination against Allah.
