World War Z

published in 2006
by Max Brooks

Brooks goes into so many details in this book. But there is one question that is on my mind the entire time. What started the zombie virus? No one seems to know. And yet instantly the Chineese government seemed to know exactly what to do in the first case presented by the book. Why is that? Maybe it was just because being a reporter, Brooks did not give himself access to high ranking officials. This makes him more plausible, by not being able to do everything. But still how did the disease start? It affected everyone in the world and no one knew the answer. I feel as though the origin of the disease would be one of the major thing on everyone's minds. With so many resources someone should have found out the answer and shared it with the world.
