About this product

Product Information

It began with rumours from China about another pandemic. The reports were fragmentary and confused. A world still reeling from bird flu and limited nuclear exchanges had had enough of apocalypse. Most people just wanted to rebuild their lives. Then the cases started to multiply and what had looked like the stirrings of a criminal underclass, even the beginnings of a revolution, soon revealed itself to be much, much worse. Faced with a future of mindless, man-eating horror, humanity was forced to accept the logic of world government and face events that tested our sanity and our sense of reality. Maybe, Brooks argues, the zombies brought us back to life. Based on extensive interviews with survivors and key players in the ten-year fight-back against the horde, World War Z brings the very finest traditions of American journalism to bear on what is surely the most incredible story in the history of civilisation.

  • Fantastic book. Nothing like the movie

    This amazingly original novel tellls the story of the Zombie War as a series of interviews with the survivors. Through these individual interviews the story of the war as a whole is explained. These fictional interviews take place years after the war and include a huge range of international and cultural settings from Chinese peasants to American suburbs, French soldiers and Australian austronauts (these last stranded on the ISS after the war engulfed the planet). If you enjoy apocalyptic settings or zombie stories or an examination of diverse cultural responses to external threats this book will fascinate you. Read 6 times so far.

  • Unique approach

    I have never read a book written in this way. The author / journalist gathering the information is transparent, every detail comes from the people interviewed. Completely believable.

  • Easy, enjoyable read

    Easy to read, never a chore. Not that much depth mind you as it's effectively a series of short dialogues in the form of several interviews.
