World War Z

[Digital Gonzo 2011]

The book, not the rubbish movie. This time we tackle 'World War Z', an oral history of the Zombie apocalypse that claimed the lives of the majority of mankind. The show was originally broadcast in early 2011.

The most important word here is "World" and this truly is a globe-spanning, culturally sensitive, intelligent and fearless piece of work. It unexpectedly drops the zombies into the background of the social upheaval and focuses on the people involved in the conflict and the various decisions from individuals and nations that lead to events both catastrophic and life-saving.

Once again, my guests are Neil Taylor of GameBurst and Matt Ramsey, then of the DC forums. Our biggest hope in all of this is that we will encourage as many of you as possible to pick up the superb book and audio book for yourselves. They are available along with the survival guide from Amazon and all other good book stores.
