one wonders how the hell they can all be part of the same conspiracy. The answer is rather clever.

Since I am almost certainly never going to read this book, I'm actually quite curious about this answer. Enough so I won't even rant about how none of those groups actually want an end to civilization, or at least most of their members don't.

Most of them don't literally want to end civilization, but the more extremist among them generally do seem to think that burning everything to the ground and rebuilding from scratch would be a good start.

Spoiler:

The "Daybreak" virus also affects the mind, infecting the conspirators with memes that make them susceptible to going along with the program.
