I just found out that Max Brooks (author of World War Z) is Mel Brooks' son and I have no idea what to do with this information. (hexbear.net)

All of the DPRK disappears into mountain bunker complexes for no reason and the book acts like its some mystery whats up now, like they wouldnt just all starve to death like that cause theres no agriculture going on.

The book doesn't really ever answer the question of where all the foods coming from. It has people transporting goods and people rebuilding after, but like I don't recall any interviews with farmers.

Food comes from the grocery store, silly!

There's one chapter where a government bigwig (iirc) is happy now because they spend all their time growing crops. That's all I got

Yeah there's a chapter of a guy being proud they can make root beer again because global trade is returning, but there's not a lot of detail about how peiple procured food during the war (apart from "the government flew supplies to camps, but like where did the government get supplies from?)

This book about a global zombie apocalypse is unrealistic!

And iirc it's said that Kim Jong-Il (at the time the book was written) ordered the removal of every citizen's teeth so that they couldn't bite anyone if they turned into a zombie

Pure brainworms
