Plight of the Living Dead by Matt Simon
Zombieism isn't just the stuff of movies and TV shows like The Walking Dead. It's real, and it's happening in the word around us, from wasps and worms, to dogs and moose - and even humans. In The Plight of the Living Dead, science journalist Matt Simon documents his journey through the bizarre evolutionary history of mind control. Along the way, he visits a lab where scientists infect ants with zombifying fungi, joins the search for kamikaze crickets in the hills of New Mexico, and travels to Israel to meet the wasp that stings cockroaches in the brain before leading them to their doom.Matt Simon is a science journalist for Wired magazine, where he focuses on zoology, especially the strange kind. He was one of just a few humans to observe the axolotl salamander's mythical mating ritual, which he describes in this book, which he recommends you buy.
