I can only think of the dark spot in the sky, birds crossing the solar beam, effects in the atmosphere, satellite disruptions... but isn't this is the most obvious step towards Type III right now?

Has anyone written a more recent take on 1976's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_High_Frontier:_Human_Colon... ?

Dont forget using it as a weapon.
