If I had read World War Z before 2020, I probably would’ve enjoyed it and moved on. But reading it post-2020? It feels downright prescient.
Told through a series of interviews conducted after the zombie apocalypse, the book pieces together a haunting oral history of how the world responded, and failed to respond, to the crisis. The format keeps things fresh, with each voice offering a distinct perspective, making it nearly impossible to get bored.
What surprised me most was how deeply unsettling it was, not because of the zombies, but because of how accurately it portrays global breakdown: conspiracies, misinformation, governmental posturing, denial, division… It all hits a little too close to home.
A compelling and eerily relevant read. Definitely worth your time.
