The Savage Dead
“They weren’t that hard to avoid, which kind of surprised her. Curious about why she kept seeing zombies mentioned everywhere, even from veteran senators who started using terms like zombie banks and zombie markets, she’d actually watched a zombie movie late one night while working up notes for a meeting. The movie—she forgot the title, except that it was “Dead” something or other—had come on late night TV and was actually pretty dreadful. But she’d come away from the movie thinking that the who...le zombie craze was about using the zombie as a clever metaphor for some perceived social ill. There was probably also something of a more general hopelessness to it, a modern ennui with the status quo. But, ultimately, it seemed, life for the living in those movies was pretty pointless. Where was there to run when everybody, eventually, ended up as one of those decaying, venomous things? It was a good metaphor for politics and the economy, but she was baffled as to the zombie’s cultural appeal.MoreLess
