This classic of zombie apocalypse literature is back in the news, as Ali Velshi from MSNBC has featured it on his book club. Author Max Brooks makes an interesting point that zombie/post-apocalyptic literature taps into the subconscious feeling that the system is breaking down. I feel that, whatever side of the political aisle you fall on, there are lessons to be learned from this novel. I reviewed it several years ago when I first read it, and I’m linking to it again here, as well as providing the video of the interview with Brooks.
