The roots of the zombie apocalypse are grounded in modern literature, movies, and mythology and in this book we apply an academic treatment and professional rigor to examine the real-world implications of such an event. Each essay presents a unique perspective that relies on real world, historical, and evidence based examples, as well as those from Hollywood and popular culture. This allows a discussion of the probability of life, behavior, and reaction during an undead invasion. All essays use the zombie apocalypse as a metaphor for real world catastrophes, including a balance of both popular culture and academic references.
