World War Z
Global undead pandemic
World War Z is a 2006 novel by Max Brooks depicting a global zombie apocalypse through fictional oral histories and interviews with survivors.
The title parodies "World War II" while suggesting a final, ultimate conflict.
A 2013 film adaptation starring Brad Pitt shares the name but little else with the source material.
The phrase sometimes appears in casual references to zombie fiction generally.
