Since the early 2000s, popular culture has experienced a ""Zombie
Renaissance,"" beginning in film and expanding into books,
television, video games, theatre productions, phone apps,
collectibles and toys. Zombies have become allegorical figures
embodying cultural anxieties, but they also serve as models for
concepts in economics, political theory, neuroscience, psychology,
computer science and astronomy. They are powerful, multifarious
metaphors representing fears of contagion and doom but also
isolation and abandonment, as well as troubling aspects of human
cruelty, public spectacle and abusive relationships. This critical
examination of the 21st century zombie phenomenon explores how and
why the public imagination has been overrun by the undead horde.
