A 2006 novel by Max Brooks recounting the zombie apocalypse and it's effect on the world. It deals with themes such as blame, the media and its effect on society, and the unpreparedness of the world's governments.
It has had quite an effect of zombie culture. It's portrayal of the undead as rabid killing machines has spread to become the template for the species, and the book's signature, the Lobotomiser, is widely accepted by the zombie-killer community. It is a must read for all fans of the living dead, for all lovers of subtext, and for all people who enjoy a good horror story.
It was loosely adapted into a 2013 movie starring Brad Pitt.

Just to give you a taste of the book, there is a scene in which a crowd riots and destroys a mansion that is occupied by Bill Maher, Paris Hilton and Lil' Wayne. It is ultra-cool.
Also, the movie of World War Z is totally watchable, if a little castrated for gore.

Let me put this in terms a teenager can understand
Archduke Franz Ferdinand was in Sarajevo and Gavrilo Princop popped a cap in his ass
Austria-Hungary got pissed off and asked Germany for help who gave them a "do whatever the fuck you want" or a blank check. Austria-Hungary finally asked Serbia to stop all anti Austria-Hungary activities and let them investigate the murder themselves. Serbia said fuck no and then Austria-Hungary declared war
because Russia was an allie of Serbia it began mobilization (preparing for war) and Germany didn't like this so they said "back the fuck up" to which Russia said no so Germany declared war on Russia and for no apparent reason whatsoever (just to be assholes I suppose) declared war on France. the declaration of war by Germany on France pissed off the English so England declared war on Germany
so basically they're all fighting when one day Germany shot a torpedo and sunk the Lusitania. the United States put their foot down and decided enough is enough and they were going to enter the war.
the Germans shit their pants and I can't remember what happened next but that's how it started

An excellent ending to an amazing series. I almost shed a tear several times in the campaign.
If you're good, multiplayer is more fun and addicting than any other Gears game. It's also a more serious choice for hardcore gamers too. Just because you have a KD of 10,000 in Call of Duty doesn't mean you'll be good at Gears of War (sorry, no camping here.).
Best game yet of 2011, as of the date this was written, and probably one of the best Xbox 360 exclusives that you'll ever play.

*SPOILER ALERT*
For those who aren't concerned about the campaign but are curious about how it ends, this is what happens:
Dom dies saving the crew from the Locust/Lambent, the crew finds out immulsion is a parasitic life form that turns whatever comes into lengthy contact with it into a mindless zombie, Adam Fenix (Marcus' dad) dies after setting off a neutron-type bomb that kills only immulsion after injecting himself with it to see how it spread, The Locust Queen dies, Marcus and Anya repopulate the world together, and Carmine survives. There, you now know the major plot points of the Gears of War 3 campaign.
