One particular aspect of the World War Z book that sets it apart from other zombie fiction is its unique and in-depth look into strange zombie adventures.
World War Z isn’t just a story about survivors pulling off impressive headshots (although there are plenty of those as well), it’s a compilation of ridiculous adventures and truly insane exploits that just happen to include the walking dead.
There’s even a story about a group of astronauts who sacrifice themselves on the International Space Station to keep radios working on Earth.
There are a ton of excellent chapters that are chock full of some genuinely outlandish stories, such as a group of English survivors who survive indefinitely within the walls of a medieval castle, and a blind Japanese man who learns how to kill zombies by hearing them like Matt Murdock.
