OOh, book suggestions. I'm good at those. :-)
For starters, you like Zombie Apocalypses. Apocalypsi. Alpacas. V-Wars turns the Apocalypse from Zombie to Vampire, with a really neat twist. I reviewed it here if you're interested in my babblings about it.
For a more traditional zombie-related apocalypse, Under a Graveyard Sky comes out on the...3rd of September, I believe. Written by one of my favorite Military SF authors John Ringo, it's full of dark humor. I polished off the eARC in just a few days, and now want a TARDIS to jump forward to February when the next one comes out. Main character is a former military guy who ACTUALLY knows how to prep, realizes that a sailboat is the only way to go in a virus-related apocalypse, and is actually functional after the fall of humanity. His younger daughter is super-kickass too.
For a fantasy story with Strong Female (side)Characters, check out Rachel Aaron's The Legend of Eli Monpress. Over a thousand pages long, this edition combines the first three books in the series, and I actually borrowed my boyfriend's debit card to buy the ebooks of the last two when I finished it. Addictingly fun.
ANYWAY, I'll end there, since I could go on and on and on...
Science fiction author that does a lot of military themed SF. He has a current series out right now about fast zombies
In Under A Graveyard Sky, by John Ringo, this attitude was one of the things called out as to why the zombie virus was able to spread so quickly.
Effectively, in NY, if you saw someone jump out of an alleyway, tackle a woman and start eating her face off, the average NYC citizen would probably shrug and just say "Damn meth head." and walk off, MAYBE calling the police.
It provides a lot of other interesting points, such as how in general we don't really think (from a legal standpoint) about someone as being beyond recovery UNTIL the point at which they are dead. So it doesn't matter that zombies have swiss cheese for brains, if a police officer shoots one (in the earliest days anyway), then standard procedure applies. Their gun is turned in and an investigation starts up to look into it. Similarly, no elected official was willing to sign off on killing the zombies because they'd immediately have to deal with genocide problems during the next election.
I liked both Feed by Mira Grant and the Black Tide Rising series by John Ringo
