Extremely good survival book, written by a professional military. Truly flawless. A must-read for any reader with a minimum requirement in plot coherence, military and social accuracy, and credible human response to catastrophic events.

Brilliant, far-reaching, all-encompassing work on human civilization after the dead started walking the Earth. The use of the living dead as the source of collapse of our entire society is only a pretext. This book is fabulous in its capability to show how weak our civilization actually is, in spite of all appearances.

Utterly somber, yet very credible depiction of a post apocalyptic world in which the sun no longer breaks through the clouds of ash. So real, so well though-out, that it could actually be a real documentary on life in a desperate, hopeless world. Truly extraordinary.

The slow & steady overtaking of the world by the walking dead. Extremely enjoyable, credible tale of a group of survivors' struggle for survival in the midst of chaos in a collapsing society. The question asked by the book -and its sequels- is: when society and what we take for granted collapse altogether simultaneously and the future yields no hope, what makes people want to fight on and survive?

Clever and fine depiction of a world in which the living dead and the living try to share space, jobs and mutual respect. Although it features zombies, the real theme of the movie is social exclusion in modern society. Intelligent.

High-quality sequel to 28 Days. Features the attempt of civilization to reclaim England once the threat of infection has been contained and eradicated. Repopulation is planned but something comes in the way. Dark movie, with likeable characters, primarily focused on denouncing but not judging personal cowardice and the ruthlessness of military orders that are taken to protect the greatest numbers.

Brilliant movie but for its end about a man's attempt to survive in a hostile world populated by blood-thirsty creatures. Beyond action scenes, this movie is mostly a study of human's adaptation skills amidst chaos and its limits: although mankind is an adaptable species, it is also a social mammal group that isolation deeply harms. Wil Smith and his female friend Sam are amazingly credible.

Low budget for this movie, but intelligent approach. A just married couple moves to a beach-shore house. The guy is bitten by a stranger that comes out of the sea. He progressively turns into a flesh-eating zombie. His wife is torn between her love and the necessity of protecting her loved ones and friends.
