Real Life Zombies The zombie is a cultural figure that has experienced resurgence in recent years in movies and books. In “A Zombie Manifesto: The Nonhuman Condition in the Era of Advanced Capitalism,” Karen Embry and Sarah Lauro offer a theory of why this is so. They posit that the zombie represents our unease with our own mortality, our endless consumerism, and being a “living appendage of the machine” (Embry, Lauro 93). I will show how this can be seen in World War Z by Max Brooks. At first glance World War Z appears to be just another pulp horror novel.

Well, he’s just “a peppy little spit fuck” but Tallahassee is resourceful, effective, and absolutely the most creative zombie killer. During the film, they showed Tallahassee killing zombies with eleven different weapons. Some of the weapons he used shouldn’t even be considered weapons.
unanimous voices mention television shows such as "The Walking Dead" to movies such as "Dawn of the Dead" The descriptive details of undead hoards of brain eating creatures and sexually alluring men in the darkness of the night, sucking the blood of innocent women are common place.

This leaves Max Brooks “The Zombie Survival Guide” vulnerable to the consumption of the zombie fanatics who feed on anything zombie related. Brooks has written a follow up to “The Zombie Survival Guide” called “The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks” and has a movie currently in theaters called “World War Z” (Brodesser-Anker, 2013). It is obvious that there is a demand for zombie entertainment in today’s society. According to Brooks, “There’s been some really scary stuff that’s been happening — 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, anthrax letters, D.C. sniper, global warming, global financial meltdown, bird flu, swine flu, SARS.

Vidal states, “Commies will stop us from making everyone free, and we shall end up a race of zombies” (884). Vidal purposely uses “zombie” as satirical of his observation to spark an image of eerie, insecure and death to audiences. In addition, he combines “race” along with “zombies” to create more dramatic scene, as if the whole generation can turn viral with insipid addiction drug.
