Max Brooks, author of the Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z, is working hard to reform and refine how we think about zombies. Personally, I think his work is great. It’s entertaining, thought-provoking, and informative all at the same time. This is a short video outlining some of the core concepts of staying alive [...]
