(literary or otherwise) that's given me actual nightmares. It's a
monster that can barely be comprehended, let alone shot at.

rm -rf *.* cures that one.

The Blight isn't any scarier than any other Computerz Gone Wild
threat. It's just on bigger computers.

Some of those computers were people. That's scary.

And the scope and range of the Blight, a whole section of the Galaxy.
