Introduction

The zombie apocalypse is one of the most popular areas of lore at the moment. It is society’s gold mine of “nerdiness” and its latest fads, which are disgusting topics that need a blog of their own to cover. It is now a fun little game to play with your friends. A role playing game, in the theoretical sense of the genre.

It has gone too far. Like the ideas of modern-day racism and our “love” of bacon, the zombie apocalypse has become so overused and watered down that we as a society forget and can not remember or fathom what it really is. It is an idea so mushed together that even a baby could understand it simply by watching our modern interpretations of it.

So what is really happening with the zombie apocalypse then?

It has become a bag of facts that’s holding too much information for its size. And now it’s breaking, oozing out facts here and there, without being double-checked.

This, reader, is where you have the advantage. This is where you can make a difference, and combat all of the other zombie apocalypse ideas. Present this at a party. Present this with your friends at lunch. Anywhere is appropriate. Discuss this, and protect yourselves from the inevitable future.
