Chapter 7, Around the World, and Above, was mainly about how
each country dealt with their zombie apocalypse. England and those "Old
World" countries mainly used castles, although said that most of the
castles were not smart about the safety precautions, or smart at all, and they
got overrun. And even if they were smart, disease, lack of food, and even fire
is what got some of them. In the federal states of Micronesia, they had Radio
Free Earth, formally known as Radio Ubunye, which was basically a means to
provide its citizens with information of what was happening and how to get
through it, like how to purify water or make penicillin. In India, they said
that they thought that their religion would save them, by them flocking to the
Ganges, but that really turned to their downfall. In South Korea, they talked
about how they thought that North Korea seemed the most prepared to what was
happening to the world, but then one day, they practically just disappeared. So
my thoughts are a whole country suicide. In Japan, it was about how a socially
awkward boy named Kondo survived just by researching how zombies were like via
fictional thought, and by talking to his online buddies. He eventually had to
escape out the window by tying bed sheets together, and it took him 3 whole
days to do so, but he was also searching for weapons and things to use. Cuba
was probably the most prepared out of everyone. Once they killed all of the
zombies on the island, they started to help other countries by shipping goods
to them. In China, they started a civil war, which did nobody any good. What I
found the most interesting was how Barati said that in most traditional war,
they dehumanize the enemy so that they won't feel bad in killing them. But
because zombies were literally not human, it was a bit different. Some people
thought that the zombies felt emotion, or were intelligent in some way, while
others thought that you could even domesticate them. You would think that the
zombie's hunger for human flesh would change their thinking, but it really
didn't, and that's what I found the weirdest.
