AMC’s hit show “The Walking Dead” is currently going on its fourth season. This leaves Max Brooks “The Zombie Survival Guide” vulnerable to the consumption of the zombie fanatics who feed on anything zombie related.

Klosterman an American author and essayist which has written for The New York Times Magazine, The Believer, and The Washington Post, and has written books focusing on American popular culture believes that technology is changing our way of enjoying life by depending on a device to do our communicating for us. Klosterman’s idea that technology makes us zombie like is sadly true.
