World War Z, originally a 2006 novel by Max Brooks, tells the story of a global zombie pandemic and humanity's desperate fight for survival. Told through a series of first-person accounts collected by a United Nations post-war commission, the narrative spans across continents, detailing the societal collapse, military battles, and ingenious strategies employed to combat the undead horde. Unlike traditional zombie narratives, World War Z focuses less on individual survival and more on the macro-level geopolitical and sociological impacts of a worldwide catastrophic event, exploring themes of government competence, societal resilience, and the human spirit in the face of unimaginable horror.
