Title: World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
Author: Max Brooks
Category: Fiction, Sci-fi, Horror
Summary: Presented as a collection of individual accounts recorded by an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission, this post-apocalyptic novel chronicles the decade-long war between humanity and a global zombie horde. Moving chronologically from the initial outbreak in rural China through global panic, near-collapse, and humanity’s eventual counter-offensive, Max Brooks uses the framing of a journalistic oral history to explore geopolitics, human resilience, institutional failure, and survivalism.
