Status Updates From World War Z: An Oral Histor...

I fear this isn’t the vibe rn

Los dos capítulos de Kyoto, Japón deberían ser una película. 🧐☝🏻

I'm really not feeling this one. I had seen so much praise and finally decided to pick it up. The premise is to record the history of WWZ and include the humanity which is so often removed from history books. However this format has done the opposite for me.

Absolutely incredible - world political systems would have us screwed in the event of a z-virus

Slowly but surely

In light of COVID‑19 and Oct 7, the fractured survivor testimonies—Palestinian medics, Israeli analysts—are stitched into history without an omniscient narrator, creating raw authenticity.

i love how each countries have their own strategies in overcoming the undead. the most interesting for me was Israel, when they decided to extract the teeth of every person so when they reanimate they won’t be able to infect the others. brutal and smart!

"It's a lot easier to blow up trains than to make them run on time" NO IT FUCKING ISNT DJKFHSKHF IM TIRED

If I had to go up north a) I feel like I’d be so unprepared and b) I’d want Jack w me for a zombie apocalypse to help w the… pew pew

The audiobook for this absolutely SLAPS. I loved this book already but the audiobook takes it to a new level, because it's how the book is meant to be read. It's an oral history!

Idk if I’d make it considering nyc went down so fast

Fear runs the world
Also the story of the family is so sad omg

Israel Palestine
