Night of the living geek

So a new book titled Theories of international politics and zombies (http://www.amazon.com/Theories-International-Politics-Zombies-Drezner/dp/0691147833) is hitting the shelves at Amazon, and the author -- one Daniel W. Drezner -- snagged an interview with realclearworld (http://www.realclearworld.com/articles/2011/01/26/drezner_zombies_international_politics_99369.html) . He addresses the 'zombie gap' and proposes ways different countries would solve the problem.

I never thought the day would come when discussion of zombie invasions would break the forum policies here, but I guess we're getting close!

Coming soon to a book store near you: "BRAINS: Developing and deploying zombie-fighting apps using the J2EE architecture."

How will YOU rewrite something in your field to cope with the zombie menace?

Respectfully,

"Are they Really Human?" Convincing People That Zombies Really Do Need To Be Killed

By Thorcrest (Bonus to Anyone that can guess my field!)

[SurlySeraph]

Social Origins of Distress and Disease in Zombie-Infested Regions.

Based on Arthur Kleinman's classic work on depression in China, except instead of being brilliant and clear I spend nine chapters obfuscating the conclusion ("It's mostly because of the zombies") so that it looks more impressive when I state it in the last chapter.

Post-Zombie Apocalypse Cults For the Brainless and Heathen

[Essie]

But they never cease, for a single instant, to instill into the slavering, flesh-eating hordes the clearest possible recognition of the hostile antagonism between living and zombie, in order that the German walking dead may straightway use, as so many weapons against the living, the social and political conditions that the living must necessarily introduce along with their supremacy, and in order that, after the fall of the reactionary classes in Germany, the fight against the living itself may immediately begin.

The zombies turn their attention chiefly to Germany, because that country is on the eve of a living revolution that is bound to be carried out under more advanced conditions of European civilisation and with much more developed zombies than those of England in the seventeenth, and France in the eighteenth century, and because the living revolution in Germany will be but the prelude to an immediately following zombie revolution.

In short, the zombies everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.

In all these movements, they bring to the front, as the leading question in each, the property question, no matter what its degree of development at the time.

Finally, they labour everywhere for the union and agreement of the democratic parties of all countries.

The zombies disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the living classes tremble at a zombie revolution. The zombies have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.

Slavering, flesh-eating hordes of all countries, unite!

That is so full of win! You can have a cookie!
