Description of  Zombified: Real-World Lessons from Fictional Apocalypses [Audiobook]

B0CJMR7YCZ M4B@128 kbps Lecturer: Athena Aktipis Drawing on years of research on zombies and zombification, these six lessons offer a fun way to explore and understand the many forces that influence us. You'll discover how organisms in the natural world, like the jewel wasp, hijack one another for their own ends. You'll examine cases of social and psychological zombification involving family members and romantic partners. And, of course, you'll spend plenty of time with fictional zombies-why they fascinate us, how they map onto topics like infectious diseases and disaster preparedness, and what they reveal about our hopes and fears for the future of humanity.
