World War Z. I read it because a friend recommended it, but I did not expect to like it since I don’t like zombie media and I assumed the author was only famous since they were Mel Brooks’ son. But it ended up being an amazing book with tons of insight into the human condition. It also really hit the nail on the head with some predictions over how society would react to a pandemic and it kind of came true with how people tackled COVID. From things like a snake oil salesman selling a fake cure, to politicians prioritizing the economy over informing people about the zombies.
