World War Z: Chapters 1-3

The Introduction first introduced the interviewer, who was commissioned with the task of of writing a report on "The Zombie War," and instead decided to write a book composed of interviews from those who had lived through the ordeal. The chapter "Warnings," describes the origins of the zombie war; beginning with how the first case of the outbreak was found in China in a boy who had been bitten while treasure hunting. The chapter goes on to describe the subtle hints of a zombie outbreak from people worldwide and the steps that Israel took to prevent the outbreak from getting through their borders. In the last chapter it becomes known that an anti rabies drug was produced and marketed as being able to to protect people from getting infected despite having no such capabilities. This caused the masses to be subdued and to not take the zombie war as seriously as they should have. This also ties into the section that stood out to me the most. With a zombie outbreak underway, Breck Scott only had one thing on his mind; profit. It is fascinating to know that even in such an extreme situation there is always someone who will take advantage of people's fears.
