We should look deeper. Zombie fiction is particularly popular among the young — the same young, remember, who overwhelmingly believe that Social Security won’t be there when they retire. I suspect that zombie stories appeal to a generation that is secretly worried that government itself won’t make it — that the manifest inability of our politics to cope with today’s challenges suggests a likely incompetence at tackling tomorrow’s.
So viewed, the zombie apocalypse provides an example of what Tom Moylan, in his classic study “Scraps of the Untainted Sky,” refers to as “critical dystopia”: the use of an imagined, unattractive future to call attention to the sociological and technological risks of the present.
